While searching for covers of this tune, I was not surprised to see the Godmother of Punk Patti Smith show up. Smith released a covers record titled Twelve in 2007 and it has shown up in three previous cover wars (Boy In The Bubble, Everybody Wants To Rule The World, and Helpless). In related news, Patti Smith recently won the National Book Award.

Sonic Youth recorded this cover for the 1988 album Sgt. Pepper Knew My Father and it was later reissued on the 2007 Deluxe Edition of their album, also from 1988, Daydream Nation.
