Oak Ridge Boys cover The White Stripes (ask your mom who they are). This is what made them famous 28 years ago

actually, i like this substantially better than the original - at least they're real basses in this song, and real singers. sounds like something that'd be playing at a saloon in dodge city in a spaghetti western. the solo's even better.

But Audioslave did it better than both of them.

Meg White is easily one of the worst drummers I've ever heard, and the fact that Jack White is regarded positively in any sense as a guitarist is absolutely baffling.

i definitely prefer how audioslave play it but i prefer the vocals on the white stripes version to audioslave's

Not a bad version, though I must say I can't listen to the original. |
