back whenever Brown Eyed Girl was made.. it was covered by like 3 or 4 different bands.. and is still be covered from pop bands to punk bands nowa days.. and i think its good.. some of the covers almost sound like the same band which is strange but a good thing.
i think its cool when a band covers a song that JUST came out or came out years and years ago. it shows there willing to risk it, because coving a old song more so from a great band that made it go number 1 in the first place.. its a hard thing to beat let alone cover it. when you cover a newer song your taking the chance that your cover verison will be better and or just as.. or much worse then the first.
cover songs new or old is a big risk in its self when it comes to music and the bands that cover the songs..
thats all i have to say.
and The White Stripes verison was good.. i enjoyed it
