In 8th place, with 7pts, it's
with Across The Universe by Fiona Apple
They said: I was torn between this or The Breeders' version of Happiness Is a Warm Gun...but I figured you might be more likely to have heard the latter. Also, while I enjoy both versions of HiaWG (the Beatles one has a better ending, but The Breeders do "Mother Superior jump the gun" better!) I definitely prefer Fiona's version of Across the Universe to the original. It sounds like a song that was written for her, if that makes sense? Of all the categories, this is the one I suspect is most likely to be a duplicate...but that's a testament to how good a cover it is!
I said:
Newness: 3/5
Fit: 10/10
Song: 7/10
Total EN Score: 80%
Newness comment: I've listened to Apple's last album after seeing some crazy good reviews, but have to admit I didn't get it. Don't know this cover though, so this might be a nice in for me...
Song comment: I like this, but in the end I don't think I like it as much as I want to like it, if that makes sense. The music is great and I like her voice, but in the end the total adds up to good but not amazing for me. I expected more edginess from her, and in the end I'm craving that
