American Woman
Both are good songs but I tend to prefer the Kravitz version. The intended distortion at the end gets a little annoying, but it still rocks more than the original.

Covers are great when an artist reinterprets a song makes you hear it in a different way. Sooo not so in this case. Hardly an original note. He just reminds us how good the original was.

Version by Lenny works only because the original one plays background in memory. That is why people do whistle. And Lenny does pretty good with that.

I hate both versions. The Guess Who is making fun of America, but who gave them all their money for that song? America! If you are going to make fun of a country, make sure it isn't the one that is signing your paycheck.

Kravitz made the song amazing, but i still think Geuss who wrote it way better.

Everything was said in your comments. Well, I don't agree that covers are always worse. I really got shocked, when I heard the original recently - what a great song ! I don't mind Lenny, but his "performance" wasn't cool as he wants to be ...

Lenny Kravitz's version is so boring, it sounds like he is just trying to get through it. The Guess Who were a band who were hungry and wanting to make the seen. Lenny was already established when his version came out and it shows.

I like Lenny but this song looks like hip-hop. Guess Who rocks! I say A, I say M, I say E, I say R, I say I, I say C, I say A, I say N, Huh! American Woman! Stay away from me...
