INXS: As the story goes, INXS songwriter Andrew Farriss came up with this song's memorable guitar lick while on the way to the airport—asking the cab driver to head back to his hotel so he could record. Good call, man.
Cassettes Won't Listen: L.A. resident Jason Drake bangs out tracks on his laptop under a moniker that recalls the analog glory days—a time when this song was topping the charts.
Who sings it better?
The cover is as straightforward as they come, with some beat noodling and bouncy synth breaking away from the mold. In the end, it only serves as a reminder that the original is not to be touched. Advantage, INXS.
