    Come to think of it, the original Nine Inch Nails version is pretty bad.

    Johnny Cash does it far better.

    Even Trent Reznor admitted as much. It was as if the song was written for Johhny Cash...

    One Directions "One way or another" is far superior to the Blondie version, that Hairy Piles is an absolutely amazing singer. :rolleyes:

    Not really sure if this counts as an official cover version, but I'm using it as an excuse to post it. Its a take on the Stones' Miss You by Ronnie Wood, Johnny Lang and the legendary Buddy Guy.
