**COVERS** of ONE-HIT WONDERS (heck, why not TWO-hit and THREE-hit wonders too!!)

Oh yeah, Ozzy and Type O Negative teamed up on a cover of this as well.

I actually have both of those on CD. Good tunes!

Also covered in the '70s by a Canadian band called Wednesday. Not nearly as good as their best song Lovin' You Baby though.

I'm listening to the latter, because the original is fantastic (or at least, one particular version is). The cover is fairly faithful to the original (which can be a mixed blessing) and has a very good beat, and I'm positive on it.

I think this one here is one of the good versions of the original. The grittier the guitars, the better!
