People, me included, get a little weird about covers. Usually, the problem is profound allegiance to the original version (to cross mediums, Rob Zombie should've left Halloween alone). But honestly, we should probably relax. Covers are like cheese slices - not the same as the original, not meant to be the same and potentially tasty in their own right, depending on your tastes.
If you haven't heard these covers you are missing out in the slice department:
Can't Help Falling in Love - Lick the Tins (Elvis Presley)
Top of the World - Shonen Knife (Carpenters)
Handle With Care - Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins (The Traveling Wilburys)
