OMG This sucks.. Sri IMHO it misses the spot, I saw Belinda live and she was hot, this one does nothing for me. I think she should cover Amy Winehouse stuff and leave classics like this alone pse tnxbye
OMG. I had NO idea Belinda ever did this!!! I cannot even tell you my reaction when I heard this. I **LOVE** Marianne's original version of this AND I also love Belinda!! The two together were just incredible!!! Wow!
Marianne Faithfull didn't write this, and her version isn't even that much better. It was just better-timed and no one hit the Zamfir or the Flashdance button on the synth when she was recording it. I have to agree with didoit; I want to hear Nico's version.
Mariannes voice sounds like shes been there and done it!! Belindas good but doesnt have the depth!

I love Belinda Carlisle but not singing this. Marianne sings it from her heart !!

The original version of this song was preformed by DR Hook and the Medicine show, and has a decidedly more country and western feel to it.

creds to Belinda Carlisle for taking this one on. I, too, could not have imagined her having the voice to take this on!

@nauort23 Sorry to disagree, but Marianne's has so much more soul to it.

an Marianne Faithfull geht bei diesem Lied nix vorbei, sie hat eine einmalige Stimme die man nicht covern kann
