A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone
Leave it alone (x3)
Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
And a feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home
Find a home (x3)
And a feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home
Find a home
Go back home
Go back home
So many good ones beg to differ: Green Manalishi, Black Magic Women, With a little help from my friends, Hurt, All Along the Watchtower, Respect, I love Rock 'n' Roll etc
Tainted love, Nothing compares 2U
covers are lazy

There is room in my world for both versions of this song.
Postmodern Jukebox with Haley Reinhart has entered the chat.
Best. Cover. Ever.
Yep! Right up there with Lenny Kravitz's American Woman.
It's kind of a new standard
What about 2 Cellos' version?
This would be a great song if I didn't know the original. I just want to hear the original now.
This is better.
Hard to believe this comment is already 10 years old...
I still prefer this cover to the original tho. So funky!
This rocks!
Rocks?!? Hip Elevator Music is more like it.
Fun. Like gee, is this fun.
Yes yes yes! I love both versions.
Is it because he is a French guy ? Racist !!!

And where in his comment did you get that he was "racist? I was born in France and I gave it a 3.
My rating is 8 - Most Excellent but very SOLID

Me, too!

Pure, unadulterated garbage.
Wouldn't taking something and somehow corrupting, debasing, or otherwise changing it make it "adulterated"?
Many "great" songs get covered. You could view it as a sign of respect (or envy...or laziness). IMO, the song is solid enough to survive the "treatment" you mention and still pull me in.
Way to take a song and strip all the life out of it!
Pure, unadulterated garbage.
This is a complete "alternative fact"!

Right ?
Play the two versions back to back. They're chalk and cheese. I prefer this one.
Yes
Wrong, the original was only guitar and drums, but whatevs

(BTW, I like this version maybe more than Jack's—don't love or hate either of them.)
With my head a-noddin' and my toes a-tappin'. That's how.
Yep.. Noddin all the way
I'm off to do the lottery and put a bet on a nag!
The Stripes were heavy... This version is just plain groooovy..

(OK, ok, Different is sometimes Better...heard the Stripes version too much perhaps....can hear you Stripes fans coming for me now....)
You guys need to loosen up, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I find it to be an interesting take. You remind me of the protestors to Dylan going electric….
Dylan went electric? SELLOUT
The whole EP is odd covers.
His version of "Barbie Girl" kills.

I think I heard the original here a couple of weeks ago.
Bill played it a lot "back in the day". Hard to believe that song's almost 10 years old already...
Agreed! This still gets a 7, but the Stripes version would get a solid 9, if not 10!
If you like Sharon Jones, you'll like this CD. His EP of covers is great!
Original is better.
