Now I don’t normally like cover versions, invariably they’re a mere shadow of the original and just sound, lets not be coy, shit. However, Mark Ronson has covered one of my favourite Smiths songs and I was exceedingly sceptical until I heard it. It’s brilliant. Featuring some guy named Daniel Merriweather on vocals, you can view the super video by clicking below!

Have you heard his version of Britter’s Toxic over on his myspace site? Sheer genius.

This is one of the shittest covers I’ve ever heard in my life, I can’t believe shit like that is can actually get released, I can’t believe people can be this clueless.
Do any fo you idiot’s actually have any idea what this song is about? It completley misses the whole point and meaning of the song.
This wankers vocal completely srtips all the irny and intelligence from the lyrics and just leaves a stinking souless RnB turd.
God I hate you, I hate you so much Ronson you fucking gimp, I hope you fucking die you clueless cunt.
