Nuh-uh.

I donno, I think they did an OK job for a cover. It sounds enough like the original, while at the same time having their own touch. I actually think I like her voice better in the chorus than Schilling's. Overall I'd say it's a toss up...both versions are cool.

I'm honestly a little confused why you'd say this is ****e and the original is genius. They don't sound so ridiculously different where that makes sense to me.

I just heard that commercial too! I can't believe that's by them.

I still wish Chad & Jeremy were Slyder though.

I don't think you can beat this ****. Her voice annoys me to a point I can't stand. German's the best version though, imo

I agree, the original is good.

Bowling For Soup - The Bare Necessities

Easily one of my favorite Disney songs, and this is a pretty fun cover.

I've always been a fan of Fiona Apple's cover of "Angel"

Limp Bizkit's -Faith (George Micheals)
Johnny Cash's -Hurt (NIN)
Johnny Cash's -Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode)
Dynamite Hack's -Boyz In the Hood (NWA)
311's -Love Song (Cure)
Marylin Manson's -Working Class Hero (Lennon)
Cake's -I will Survive (Gloria ***nor)
Alien Ant Farm -Smooth Criminal (Micheal Jackson)

I like all the bolded, haven't heard the others. Covers are always fun in my mind, even if they are done by bands you don't love.

*nod*

I'll always have a soft spot for Three Dollar Bill, Y'All for some reason. Probably due to it being associated with good times in Jr. High in my mind, but it just sounds so much better than anything else they put out to me.

What are they?

Gah, already a thread, I did look.
