Midweek Makeover: An Alternate Perspective
Some songs are great, but get so driven into the ground by repeated play that you one day you realize that you just can’t listen to it anymore. But then - after a bit of time - you hear something on the radio that’s starting with the same chords, but isn’t quite right with the rhythm, and . . . you discover that someone’s rehabbed the played-out original with an excellent cover. This happened with I Turn My Camera On (it was Apple that ruined it, right? Just like 1,2,3,4 and Feed Good, Inc.?).
Here’s Spoon’s original
And Rock Kills Kid’s cover

It hit me like a tome?

I have almost never heard the songs you post. You are good for me.

Hit me like a tom (as in drum type). But I’d pick every one of your options over that, myself.
