    Now my heart is full and I can sleep tonight. Honestly, I am happy. It is good to see some recognition for a damn powerful song.

      I am glad because is a recognition of a great song and these things make The Smiths more known than they are.

        I am slain by nausea. This is the single most horrifying thing I have ever read. Those who would justify this unthinkable crime must be ostracized from polite society. I must take to my bed now, this is really too much...

          Blowfish do Smiths? ugh! (Score:1)
          god what a miserable band to do a Smiths classic....Blowfish are whitebread blowhards who have NOTHING to do with MUSIC! They are the fathers of Matchbox 20 and such crap as that. I guess if Matchbox do Smiths they will receive full billing here too???!!?!? jeese...

            Whores! Light years from the subject, light years from the cause and yet the place the disco started is forgotten. Hootie an his Cuttlefish mean nothing to "Please, Please..." If you respected the legend you should dismiss such sixth form stupidity! Long grow Longford Park!

              Has Moz solo finally stooped to this kind of weak shit? Deftones references, Sugar Ray namedropping, so-and-so cites the Smiths as an influence. But Hootie? David, man, seriously- who gives a fuck?

                Did you guys actually load the soundclip?

                I completely agree that Hootie is totally uninteresting & generally in bad-taste, but their Smiths cover seems quite heartfelt in my opinion. Hootie's catalogue is what stinks; but in playing such a beautiful song, they sound quite nice for once. Be objective people!

                I wouldn't be surprised is a few new fans are made via this track... what's wrong with that?
