Perfect cover for Jett. I'm sure Westerberg would approve after all he co-wrote and played/sang on her song Backlash and they also did a duet on the Tank Girl soundtrack. I'm sure the Replacements "fucked this up" a few times themselves. Another good cover is her version of Star Star.

Oh wow. Someone PLEASE throw a beer bottle at her. PLEASE MAKE THIS TERRIBLE COVER STOP!
I'm completely in love with The Replacements. Changed what I knew about music.
I also love the Runaways.
Oh fuck is this baaaaad. She drained all emotion from the song AND managed to sing the whole thing out of key. That's impressively bad. Almost took skill to fuck it up that much :( Please Joan, don't sing this again. Please for Westerberg's and the fan's sake.
@scoodleboop r u seriously gonna say that after watching one performance of her doing this song i mean ill agree she was a little off in this performance but im sure if u go watch the music video or her performing it again in a diff vid than u would love it becuz Joan did an amazing cover of this song
Eh, I took another listen. I still think it's terrible. I garuntee the 'mats fucked it up a few times as well. but damn.. I dunno. This is just terrible. I think Joan Jett is doing some great things for music.. covering this song like so.. not so much. Just my own thoughts on the matter. I may have been a tad harsh before, but I still stand by the core thought.
Joan Jett at First Ave was the most punk rock concert I've been to in years. She came out and rocked hard and fast for two hours. I really didn't expect that from a "classic rock" artist.
Not to sound prickish, but what cover of a Replacements song would be any less "obscure?" The Ledge? Alex Chilton? Here Comes A Regular? I mean, we are talking about a truly indie modern rock band with a giant following (when I was a teenager) but no hit single, unlike Psych Furs, Crowded House, or, like, Simple Minds. I always considered this song to be a stand out on Let It Be.
I know she looks great with her hair this length. It doesnt even have to be longer than this. This hair cut suits her very much! Oh god and I missed it black! Joan looks better than ever!
She seemsa little different in this video, like really tired or something. Still amazing of course, but there are moments where her face says 'I need food' or something.
cannot thank you enuf for the joan jett vids. she is the BEST. such good quality. my birthday is tomorrow and this is the best present ever next to seeing her live again. THANKS AGAIN what a great show it must have been! so glad she is still rocking the usa. We need her now sooooooo much.
are there any live videos of replacements doing this song?

@scoodleboop Have to agree. The 'Mats have screwed up this song live, but JJ just doesn't do it justice.

Isn't this song originally by Crash Test Dummies!? (and not by Replacement)
please correct me, if i'm wrong......
anyway I like it ^^

No the Crash Test Dummies covered it. Which was actually pretty brutal. The original version was off The Replacements "Let it Be".

She's the real deal.

Joan Jett has good taste! Seems to grow old with a tough rocker style, wish I had a girlfriend like that...well, wish I had a girlfriend.
