Robbo:
oh and Blind Guardian - Mr. Sandman because it's fucking brilliant and the band can't help but laugh at it.

sliptape:
Is it ok that I like the Dead Kennedy's version of Viva Las Vegas more than I do...uh...Elvis'?

Or that I prefer the original cut of "LoveSong" to the 311 cover?

KharBevNor:
Yes to the first one, and then a resounding, soul-crushing NO.

Sorry, but you are painfully wrong in this respect. I love the music in the Tears for Fears version, and I think it helps the vocals. Gary Jules' version is just too....damn....slow...and...forboding.

Damn you, Donnie Darko.

/end rant.

I was never too fond of the cover either, but to be honest that isn't even my favourite Tears For Fears song by any stretch.  I like it, but then again I like every song on The Hurting.  Cold 80s synths as a backdrop to mental anguish, thudding heartbeat-style percussion, sounds like a good idea to me!

I dunno, the reggae beat of the 311 cover just doesn't do it for me.
