I dont like cover versions so I'm the judge! Specials Hmmm passable, Muse though pull the other one.
I personally would call it a bit more than passable compaired to the original 1948 by Guy Lombardo not the Prince Buster version which was also a cover.

Otherwise I would say that Hurt by JC is the best cover version here, some of these are pretty awful compaired to the originals.

That one probably is debatable but the next one isn't. One of the best covers of all time and pisses all over the original, cuts it's throat and then rapes the corpse. I give you, Housemartins:

That is shit. Why would you want to replace bassey belting it out with some weedy cunts making it sound like every other shite middle of the road indie bollocks. I guess they were just following the bond footprints of radiohead covering Nobody does it better.
