Now I'm not against cover songs at.all. In fact there are some cover songs I rather enjoy almost as much as the original. I love Johnny Cash's 'Hurt'! Ben Folds' reimagination of 'Bitches ain't Shit' is genius and Nouvelle Vague's...everything, is amazing! But King of the Rodeo? Done via big band, jazzy, female vocals? Uhhh I don't think so!

Am I wrong?
