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

It hit me like a tonne?
It hit me like a tome?
It hit me like a tong?
It hit me like a tongue?
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.
