Originally written and recorded by Neil Diamount but this is a cover of the reggae version from Tony Tribe but its not a direct cover since this is the superior long version of the song which has added lyrics. The album from which it comes from Labour of Love contains only covers of previous songs and they are all better then the original versions. Its my favorite album from 1983 and one of my favorite albums from the 80s.

Use rich text reply and just put the link in the box that shows up but some Youtube videos don't show up though the video I just posted I had to find another version since the first one didn't show up.

Just about any Emperor cover. Two of my favorites are "A Fine Day to Die" and "Aerie Descent" (on laptop so cannot get the connected ae).

And if I am being honest, Rage Against the Machine has some amazing covers, too. To be fair, some of their covers are really, "re-imaginings" of songs as songs like, "Renegades of Funk" and "Street Fighting Man" sound absolutely nothing like the original and are only similar in lyrics and title.

EDIT: nope, still can't embed.

Click on the link you've posted, when you're in rich text reply, click the film reel icon on the bottom row that says "Insert / edit embedded media", then paste the YouTube link from your address bar into it and click insert. Edit your original post and give it a try :)

Aww yeah, thanks!

This cover is much better than Failure's original (which is still a very good song)
