One of the best covers ever. I think i've realised I quite like rock covers of non-rock songs. Why are none of the videos on this page the actual music video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xARbuaOy7c

No shouts yet for this brilliant track? Shocking. By far the best cover of the 1986 Cameo classic. Very different style, yet just as great as the original. And it's not often that's true of a cover version!
