A little respect
"A little respect" is a nice song, but the problem is that the original version is way too gay. I mean, you can't sing this song to your girlfriend 'cause she'll think you're gay.
So, the Wheatus version is cool. It's a little punk, and you can sing it with no fear. My vote is with them.

Comments about A little respect:
Has anyone suggested any ABBA songs as of yet? let's compare Erasure's covers of ABBA songs....

Of course Wheatus version will be better than Erasure, and Erasure will be better than Wheatus(I voted on the latter, sorry folks). Each are two different musical genres....that's like pitting a country version of a song to a metal version of a song. Think about it...and it doesn't make you sound gay if you sing Erasure songs to your girlfriend....chill out dude....you schtupping other men makes you sound gay....so keep singing them Erasure songs to your girlfriend, Dardo! ;0)

Wheatus' cover is one of the very very few cover versions that I like better than the original. Excellent!
And Wheatus and Weezer are two different bands, FFS.

The Wheatus version is obviously better. Only an Erasure fan could say otherwise. BTW 'Wheatus' were formerly 'Weezer' and had a huge hit with 'Teenage Dirtbag'.

ERASURE'S version is far better. Andy Bells voice is a million times better than Wheatus. As is V. Clarkes music. Remember it is an Erasure song & a classic at that. I remember it coming out in 1988. Erasure have had hit after hit sinse then, and are still going strong today with a 2007 World Tour. Where are Wheatus? Only famous for doing a cover of a classic Erasure tune.

Eric..Honestly...Why does the nationality of Dardo matters? ["as an argentinian, you should know that's not enough for it to be even "a little punk""]...I have listened Wheatus version more than Erasure version, so that's why i like Wheatus the most...=)

Dardo,if your gilfriend thinks you're gay, it's not because you're singing to Erasure. Of course the song sounds "gay", have you ever seen Andy Bell perform? But, so what? The song has a catchy beat and simple lyrics vague enough to be widely relatable. The song's a classic,and the Wheathus version does not try enough to reinvent it,honestly i was disappointed when i heard it. All they do is eliminate the keyboard and add a little distortion, as an argentinian, you should know that's not enough for it to be even "a little punk". The cover's a decent effort, so sing your little heart away without fear, homophobe.

Wheatus' cover is OK but Erasure's version was far superior, especially the voice. Indeed, a few Erasure songs sound "gayish", not this one in my opinion. Even if it was, it would still remain a good version. Moreover, Erasure is a much more consistent act with many more hits and albums than Wheatus.
