This is a testament to just how great the original is.

This demands a parody where the vocalist reads the phone book.

Hey, now, donāt you be saying anything about my mum!
But arenāt you now criticizing the critics?
But seriously, if someone else doesnāt enjoy this as much as you does that diminish your enjoyment?
Again, seriously, why donāt you go ahead and tell us what you do like about this? Iād love to talk about this critically and find out what Iām missing.

A bit too stiff for me.
ā¦Let alone your smug little assumption that you get to determine whether or not anything that someone else makes is āartā. You appear to be completely unfamiliar with the art - Excuse me, the OPINIONS - of Lester Bangs, a critic famous for his habit of writing reviews that were actually BETTER than the albums he was opining uponā¦
That said - This ācoverā of āI Feel Goodā is wretched. Not because of any personal reverence I may or may not feel for JBās original - Itās just because itās so fucking TAME, compared to the joy and the sense of life that a declaration of āfeeling goodā should, in my opinion, entail. Itās mirror image would be a self-satisfied, risk-free, unemotional, ultra-chill hipster doing a calm, trippy, mewling, dinky little ready-for-a-Jell-O-Pudding-Pop-commercial cover of, oh, sayā¦āFucking Hostileā, or āBulls On Paradeā.
This piece of shit is twee, smarmy, cutesy and, above all, CHILDISH. I am a connoisseur of cover versions (I can provide references, if you so desire), and while I favor as radical a re-interpretation as possible on the whole, there is a line that shouldnāt be crossed - And that is exactly what this thing does. It is not so much a cover version as it is the glutted smirk of a parasite that has drained the last drop of lifeās blood from itsā vibrant, far-worthier host.
