Listened to the cover by Atom... well i would rather kill myself that ever listen to it again I think. They perfectly succeeded in destroying this brilliant song.
Mountain Goats are my favorite band and this is my favorite song by them, and I agree that the cover of this by Atom & his package is fucking terrible. It's a complete insult to the original.
That's a damn lie. I was just listening to it. The cover doesn't convey any of the pathos or desperation that the oiriginal has. This version is a man clawing at the sense of loss and bitter frustration, hoping someone can aid it. the other is banal new wave crap.
The cover may be the worst thing I have ever heard. If I had the choice of going deaf, or hearing that cover again, I would choose the former. It sounds like somebody took the original, sped it up, and had some whiny emo loser sing it.

thank you - that cover is HORRIBLE and people keep saying good things about it.
i'm glad to see someone else who can see the fear in the original which is NOT replicated in the FUCKING TERRIBLE cover.
