That's not a cover. That's the original.

yeah,

they come to Sydney every once in a while, maybe once a month, once every two months. That's great, as I love to see them live, however every week I couldn't handle.

Astronauts, or Now they will we know they were here, @ 20 mins a pop is cool once in a while, but when their hour long setlist is 4 songs, weekly, you'd get tired of it.

Mind you the cover of I Ran (So Far Away) is unbelieveable!

No, they don't count because Vanilla Ice didn't do a cover of 'Under Pressure' and Puff Daddy didn't do a cover of 'Every Breath You Take.' They used samples of the songs in their own.

Both Camper Van Beethoven's of Van Halen's Jump and
Teenage Fanclub's Like a Virgin
were kind of bad, and kind of good at the same time.

Shane McGowan and Nick Cave's turned a perfectly happy "What a Wonderful World" into the most depressing song ever, although I still kind of liked it.

Any time anybody's covered the Beatles, ever.

I'm open to being proved wrong but I have my doubts.

No way. Eddie Cochran rules!

Rush's version is a bad version of Blue Cheer's version. Yeah, it's BAAAAAD.

Madonna's version of American Pie - she trashed a timeless classic.
