Say it ainīt so, Joe

This song is probably the best example Iīve ever heard of a cover version being FAR better than the original. Marian Goldīs version has much more emotion and feeling to the song, while Murray Head sounds like something the cat dragged in...

I have heard other coverversions of "Say it ain't so, joe" aswell. I have one on tape, that is really good. But i dont know the name of the band.

I like it very much. But Marian's version is definitely MUCH BETTER than the one by Murray Head.
