The Great Smiths Covers Competition

Track 2 - Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want

As covered by:

Dream Academy
Elefant
Muse

I also really like the version by The Scattered Pages. This version is available on a compilation produced to benefit the homeless and the MP3 is available to purchase at Amazon here. You can also stream the whole track here.

Don't forget to vote for your favorite!

This will annoy the Smiths purists but I thimk the Dream Academy version of Please Please... is better than the original.

Elefant, hands down. Looks like I was on my own for the last vote (JeJune).

I love Kirsty Mc Coll's version of
"you just haven't earned it yet baby"

Woohoo! Great minds think alike.

For the record, I've had that Elefant version in my head all week. Something about a New Year, and reflecting on ten years of marriage, makes the lyrics very relevant to me. Amazing considering they were penned by a single, celibate whippersnapper.

Thanks guys for hanging around my campfire.

"Whippersnapper" - LOL!

Since celebrating my last...*ahem* (we won't go into any actual numbers) birthday, it seems like just about *everyone* is a "whippersnapper" these days!
