I guess I have a theme here, but once again, every time I hear this song it makes me angry, and not the good angry more like the "why can't this song just end already?" angry.

I honestly dislike this song. Plus the guy can't sing.
I enjoy some screamo, but this **** screams basic. Well a big part of screamo is just basic.

One of many covers of songs by The Beatles that seriously deserve to be piled together (certainly not over me) as being the worst. I chose the Thompson Twins' snuff of the superior B Side of "Hey Jude" due to the fact this is one serious mismatch (at least Tiffany stuck to something like "I Saw 'Him' Standing There"), but for extra pain I picked the Live Aid version with Madonna. Mind you, the instrumentation has more punch than the sterile Here's To Future Cut Outs version, but it's the event that matters here. This is a band best known for things like "Hold Me Now" and "In the Name of Love", not anything seriously worthwhile - it's like The Archies covering something like "Kick Out the Jams" which even sounds more amusing than this.
This is serious Mid 80's Pain defined. On reflection, the original Beatles version was a bit of a question mark in terms of it's message, but it still rocked well enough and showed that John Lennon was expanding his lyrical world - this cover, however, is setting the aims WAY too high (especially when performed in a situation such as Live Aid) for a band that was still and would always remain at Bubblegum level. You know what I mean.
