Sorry, this one was a bit late. This is about the 10th version. After making about as many sub-themes (80's covers, wacky covers), the quality just wasn't there. So this is a great cross section of covers I love for various reasons. Some are hilarious, some are poiniant, and many are just better or as good as the original. And that what makes a cover a triumph vs. a defeat.

(and please don't comment on the cover. i struggle every time, being the only one in the group with zero skills, so i've just decided i'm not sweating it any more)
