All, pretty ladies around the world
I got a weird thing to show you so tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister, your mother too
'Cause they're about to throw down and you'll know just what to do

    Of course it's better that the original and korn's version...just epic and surely one of the best cover songs out there. Criminally underrated band as well.

    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!
