 If I can`t say something nice.............. The Stranglers nailed it, this not so much.  |

eek, a very lacking cover methinks  . the allegroooooan approach just does not work for me. i'll also venture that there are very few rock-ish genre songs that sound good with a harpsichord; golden brown by stranglers crushes it  |

Awful cover. Dave Greenfield added so much to the original and this has totally missed the spot!!!! |

Seriously....they've missed the point and killed the song.

I don't like songs where the singer sounds too lazy/sleepy/bored/stoned to be bothered to sing well. It's crap.

Truly awful. Definitely the worst song that I have heard on RP
Simply a way to make some $$$$ out of a great song by making it "emotional" :(

No. This is not even a mediocre attempt at a very fine and rather peculiar tune. Just disappointing... |

Could there be a more dispirited performance?

Agreed. Works well as karaoke.
Is that actually possible? |

Most of all, I like the piano. I was a little disappointed to hear vocals when they entered.

Humm, I miss the harpsichord. Nonetheless quite a pleasant version.

I disagree, I find this version adds some weight to the original. Don't get me wrong, I like the original but the fast tempo of that version gives it a light and, almost, comical feel.

I'm with you — either never heard the other one, or they are so different I don't compare them. I like it, too. |

What's the point?
Hearing this song without that electronic harpsichord, is like hearing Jimmy Hendrix without a guitar...
The best element of this song has just been removed!

Yes, rah, you put your finger on it! I like the other version better, the one from Snatch. This doesn't do it for me. |
