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!??!

What a song!!! It was revolutionary for its time. Changed music forever! Melts me …

The Original

The Ronettes:

I know. I know. Five songs are a bit much! I always try to limit it to a maximum of four and only rarely at that. But I did my damnedest to keep it at four but then found a Beach Boys live cover. While not a fan I know a few of you are so I broke precedent and begrudgingly went with five.

The Dollyrots:
Yo La Tengo:
John Lennon:

There is another longer outtake of John doing this song on youtube that is also brilliant. Seek it out!

The Beach Boys:
6X:

Don’t worry Be My Baby is just over three and a half minutes long. The rest is a hidden track that, frankly, is not very good. However, this local Atlanta band produced a lot of great songs. I really hate hidden tracks!
