i don't hate this cover, but it's weird hearing what's probably lennon's best ever set of lyrics sung as if bowie's taking the piss. the fact that it even came out kinda speaks to the excesses they were both balls-deep in at the time, i guess.

One of the few covers of his where I far prefer the original, and I'm not even much of a Beatles fan.

Fantastic version of a fantastic song.If you don't like either version, your brain is a cultural desert.

Is not that bad, but also not marvelous in my opinion. The biggest problem is that as said below this type of vocal performance doesn't fit the song at all and I'm not a big fan of this song itself...

"I worship at your feet St. Bowie but this is utterly horrible. The thing that makes the original so great is the vunerability in Lennon's voice. David's over-the-top warbling ruins the song. " Couldn't have said it better myself, this type of vocal performance doesn't fit the song at all. [2] - yap..

For me, the weakest song on "Young Americans". it's an ok cover, but no way in hell better than the original.

this is the only version I've heard so I'm fine with it. I want to play a guitar in a sailboat!

Just because it's a Beatles cover doesn't mean it's awful or horrid or bad (I have feeling you just say it because of the Beatles' status on music) and you just need to listen to it to know it's a pretty good song.

I used to hate this, but like someone already stated, it grows on you.. now I think it's a rather good cover.
