Fever, by The McCoys, over Little Willie John, Elvis, or anyone else who did it.



So what if it sounds just like Hang On Sloopy? I like it better than that, too.

Just the name, "Serious Young Insects - Music To Watch Girls By" either scares the #@!@# out of me, or else reminds me of either a bad Roger Corman movie or the Comedy Central Space Ghost show!

For me, Dylan may be tied with Chuck Berry as the #1 artist in the category of "Name a cover song you like more than the original"; just barely ahead of Bruce Springsteen.

Funny you listed Springsteen because I like Pete Yorn's take of Dancing In The Dark a thousandfolds more than Bruce's original. The first version I ever heard was Yorn's, when I heard the original I hated it.
