Selena Gomez ruined this classic.

@oldschoolbx1970 Don't follow her but I just listened to it. The annoying thing to me about covers is when it's a straight-up rendition w/ no interesting changes & the music/instruments sound cheesy plus the vocals are not interesting enough to make it sound different. E.g. Guns N Roses doing the Beatles' "Live and Let Die." His vocals are so different. Or adding an interesting guitar solo or interlude. Hers isn't anything special, so why not stick with the original?

love this song

@MerlinsLOVE It's kind of goofy in retrospect, but it was popular and a snappy tune at that time & at 8 yrs-old I liked it. In fact, there were a lot of good snappy tunes in the 70s that make today's pop music sound so generically the same. Their only big hit in the US, and apparently nailed it. Thx.
