For me it's quite simple, the name Paul Simon is included there somewhere, so I won't be viewing it .

that's such a weird collab. but it works.

[Uni]

I don't know if an instrumental version counts as a cover - so I'll plead ignorance.

but this is a beautiful piece - Sting did the "original"

 

[Hairy]

I think both are better than the origional

Ok, this is the origional below, which is not too shabby .... I was more thinking of the Dozi butchering of this which just grates me.

I think I corrected myself by saying I mistook the dozi k@k version as the koos version in a moment of weakness after a long day and many nights with little sleep.....compared to the dozi version a drunk bergie would do a better job
