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!??!

cover me impressed 
Surprised to learn The Cure chose to cover this. They earned points by drastically changing the original, and at first I thought they might win the vote, given the two remaining competitors.
I admit I didn’t know Redd Kross until they appeared on CMI. The first photo I saw of them looked like something outta Spinal Tap. Surprisingly good cover here, vocals not necessary.
The Bobs get points for attempting such a challenging cover. I almost invoked The Shatner Rule, which reminds us the point is to entertain.
I ultimately voted Redd Kross.
