I hate to listen to "cover" versions where people make it exactly the same as the original. I always think "why bother?" Good examples are "I'm A Believer" originally by the Monkees and "Give A Little Bit" by Supertramp. I don't know or care who covered these songs, but somehow they became commercial hits (again). What a waste!
I DO like to hear covers like this where you made it your own with the beat. That's creativity. Nice!
