This is properly cliched and annoying, since the tune is no doubt quite fashionable now, but I've got quite a thing for Florence and The Machines - You've got the love. Not a patch on the Source's "Now Voyager Mix", which is completely off the brilliance scale, but still a very good cover of Candi Staton's original.

Actually, the original was released by The Source Featuring Candi Staton and not Candi Staton.

That's definitely a great cover, I prefer it to any of the other versions to be honest.

The Cure original is one of my favourites but the dino jr version certainly adds something.

Really like that song - didn't realise it was a cover until you said. I'd say it's a lot better then the original. I like it so mcuh I'm playing it at a fundraising event this week Smiley
