Cover vs. Original

1985


I like SR-71's version a bit better because BFS kinda commercialized it a bit too much with the video. I hate when bands turn covers into their singles.

acordding to wikipedia:
According to SR-71's website, Bowling for Soup's Jaret Reddick (a friend of SR-71) heard the song (from their album Here We Go Again) and asked for and received permission to record a cover version. However, according to Bowling for Soup's website, it was Allan that called Reddick to suggest the possible cover.

kinda sad that all the comments are about "i just realised this is a cover". I like the BFS one because it's a bit more lively than the SR71 one. A lot catchier, too.

I never knew this was a cover till now. lol
I prefer BFS's version, probably because I thought it was really their's

I hope SR-71 made money off of this! I just realized this was a cover and not an original by BFS. OMG!!
