I think that might be better than the original...and nobody in Depeche Mode is as adorable as that little girl.

When I saw In Flames live, they also played a cover of Everything Counts. Pretty different though:

I really like that version, too. I love covers. My ipod is filled with covers.

I think the idea of covers get unfairly maligned...people complain about modern artists not writing their own songs...but you know... The Beatles did a crapload of other peoples songs.

The only problem with covers is screwing it up or not finding a way to make it your own.

This was brilliant.

Holy shit, that's a great version of "Breaking the law"!

I think this cover of Nick Cave's "People Ain't No Good" is way better than his original.
