Why did Ben Harper think he could remotely do justice to this song?
Oh well, it's infinitely better than Tori Amos' monotonous rendition of "Smells Like Teen Spirit."

Ill give him points for hubris, but this in no way approaches the original, so what's the point?

About as sexy and sensual as a week-old barrel of wet fish. Not that I'm a great fan of the original but at least that had some sexual heat to it, whereas this is just plain boring.

Sorry, I like Ben Harper, but you just can't beat Marvin!

A bad cover of a song that's already a parody of itself.

I was just thinking the opposite. Something irritating about this guy's voice, especially covering this classic. |

I can't figure out if this is serious or not.

He sounds so clinical, is this RP or the GYN?

Based on the ratings, you either love it or hate it. I love Ben Harper, but hate the song.

A tough song to cover, but Harper is up to the task.
