Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. It is your solemn responsibility to decide which cover song prevails. In other words … Which Side Are You On!??!

Easy call today. The first and third contestants stayed too close to the original, while somehow failing to approach the magic of The Undertones version. The second guy changed it up in a creative way, and sounded good doing it.
Kitty and Legless deliver exceedingly straightforward takes but they were done well … lots of reverence, enthusiasm, musicianship, enjoyment, etc. … nothing wrong with that for a venerable old classic. But Fin brought his own game to the table explete with interesting instrumentation. I was a little perturbed that he seemed to be taking it all a bit too seriously but that sly grin at the end gave it away … just a talented buffoon having fun with a great song. Raucous in a runaway!
