lol @ Michaels. Anyways, I like Seether's version. Watching the original video is weird because he kisses a woman. Cause, you know.

This is a great cover, and the end of this song is perhaps the hardest-rocking moment of the 1990s. I defy you to refrain from headbanging around 2:30.

The original was partially written Bob Dylan, and then later finished by Old Crow Medicine Show.

Thurston Moore sings the Carpenters' "Superstar" hands down, the best cover EVAR.

Oooh just one more (I promise!): I really like Michael Hutchence's "The Passenger" but there's no You Tube link for it.

[youtube=u6z79WMOPtk]Joni Mitchell-The Fiddle And The Drum[/youtube]

And so once again
My dear Johnny my dear friend
And so once again you are fightin' us all
And when I ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum
You say I have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But I can remember
All the good things you are
And so I ask you please
Can I help you find the peace and the star
Oh, my friend
What time is this
To trade the handshake for the fist

And so once again
Oh, America my friend
And so once again
You are fighting us all
And when we ask you why
You raise your sticks and cry and we fall
Oh, my friend
How did you come
To trade the fiddle for the drum

You say we have turned
Like the enemies you've earned
But we can remember
All the good things you are
And so we ask you please
Can we help you find the peace and the star
Oh my friend
We have all come
To fear the beating of your drum



A Perfect Circles version blows the original out of the water, imo.

It reminds me of a certain INFJ.

AMAZING, just amazing, you're right, it blows the original out of the water, and for me, that's saying a lot, 'cause I loves me some Joni. WOW.

What is it with Canadians and fiddles, eh?
