Personally, I like the Nazareth version of this song, but the Everly Brothers got it right and Roy Orbison's version is not that far off from the original. If you notice, Nazareth changed the wording. They used the word "flame" instead of "stove" which doesn't make any sense. A flame is always hot while a stove is only hot when it's turned on. Sorry Nazareth, but you shoulda kept the original lyrics. It just makes more sense that way.

Believe it or not I never heard the Naz version of this song but after all the positive comments about Naz's version I will download it and check it out. I have heard it done by others but I always associate this song with the everly bros.

the cover I do is of the original recording by the everly brothers.

I was a big big fan of Roy Orbison..Oobey Doobey was his 1st hit and I still play that record to this day..have it on my mp3 player.  And in no way did I or could I compare my version to Roys. Thanks for the comment.

I think you did a good job singing the song but all of the pics sort of imply that this is the Everly Brothers singing. Some folks not familiar with the Brothers viewing this might be confused. I think you should make it clearer that this is you covering the unmatched Brothers.

I Really can not imagine any one thinking that . But I took your suggestion and did as you suggested. it now read "my cover version of the Everly Brothers hit "Love Hurts"

@gnatsum64: I think "flame" makes more sense than "stove" in the following context: "Love is like a flame that burns you when it [the love] is hot". Love is hot when there's full of passion in it; love is dying when it becomes colder and more indifferent. Also, "flame" evokes more emotion than "stove"; you can feel the pain in "flame".

@gnatsum64 --I agree it doesn't make sense, but in defense of the change, 'love is like a stove' is kind of a mundane simile. Someone needs to come up with a third option.

i maybe biased b'coz i teen aged in the 80's, i still love the Naz's version.. its kinda rock but delivered damn serious...sorry original..

It's hard to believe that Warren Zevon played piano with when they toured.

This is not the original song and it is not being sung by The Everly Brothers.

yeah that lyrics change bothered me, too. i noticed it also and you're right, it doesn't make sense.

Great cover. :)

For some reason, the picture at 0:28 pisses me off. Dunno why. I guess I'm just a bit of a twitch. *shrug*
