I never really bought into The Cars and was always a bit surprised just how popular they were. And yet, I did not mind them at all either. Usually did not switch them off when they hit the radio and still don’t.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers:

Exceptional Cover

As he did with so many songs late in his career, Johnny transforms this one into his own … you’d swear it was his and not a cover and, as such, it would have been unfair and ridiculous to include it in a competition with others. As many of you have echoed, Johnny was a flat out special talent and particularly remarkable late in his career.

As a rule I do not post videos that are restricted in any way and must be viewed on another site. So ordinarily I would have just tossed this cover. But it is too brilliant, too spectacular, too awe-inspiring, just too, too, too … Take the journey over to YouTube and queue up the version posted by Tenkanen, then sit back and bask in its extravagance! Trust me, you will thank me later!!!
