OMG! Soft Cell's Version is shocking! As for The Kinks V The Fall-I like both! As for subverting the original I think my post is a great example.

New ones:

Original:

Cover:

I much prefer the ambience of the cover to be honest.

They're not too different aside from Elliott's version having one guitar but I think Elliott's version provided an intimacy that is absent in Big Star's version which adds a more honest level to the song and since its so simple it works so much better.

You are a troubador Ethan! I can see that Smith's version is more intimate but I think the upbeat edge of the original aligns itself with the lyrics better.
