Broccoli Fields Forever …
The Textones released Vacation in 1980. Their guitarist, Kathy Valentine, later joined The Go-Go’s who covered the song in 1982. Vaction was one of The Go-Go’s highest charting singles, reaching No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. But undoubtedly the song’s most prestigious accolade is the distinction of being released as the first known cassette single or “cassingle” as trademarked by I.R.S Records.

Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. Only one cover tune will live to play another day and it is your solemn responsibility to decide which one prevails. So tell me … Which Side Are You On?!!?
Also, keep in mind that if you should spontaneously self-actualize while playing a cover then you could – and probably should – nominate it for Top 10 (i.e. “Impeccable”) consideration.
