| I think that both the original and this cover version are good. The songs are from two different styles so they're not really comparable. This may seem obvious to some people, but if a woman is singing about 'Eileen' then that gives the song a same-sex overtone doesn't it? Not that there's anything wrong with that... | |

| The fact that a girl is singing it, I think that gives it an even darker sounding tone, which only makes it better. >D Very good cover, I would say. I was at first mislead into thinking No Doubt sung this, though, which they didn't.. :/ | |
