as title what do you guys think of cover songs?
usually i think they're shocking, but i just heard the klaxons 'not over yet', which was an old dance song by grace. and i quite liked it.

Depends on the song I think. Sometimes a cover in keeping with the original theme of the song can go either way. Covers that change a song can sometimes make it the song it was always meant to be. Sometimes they are total abortions though!
