You're wrong, in this case. She sings that song with FAR more passion than they ever did.

I never realised this was a cover. And you're absolutely right.

(Al Green did it too, but I don't think I've ever heard his version.)

Roy for sure. But then I never was a big Van Halen fan. Especially when they got that curly headed guy (Sammy someone?) towards the end. David le Roth was a showpony, but at least he was entertaining.

Another vote for "you're absolutely right". |
