I liked the uptempo perkiness of it, and as John mentioned, I also enjoyed the addition of the banjo. In fact, I prefer Natalie's version to the original.<br /><br />Yak Later...<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br />[Link:) <b><a href="http://stephentmccarthyreviews.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Stephen T.

I preferred Natalie's version over Yo La Tengo.

Believe it or not, I can't place this song but it was really a catchy fun tune. Natalie's style just didn't suit this song or my ear but I really enjoyed Contender #2's cover. I may even like it better than The Cure's original. Yo La's vocals were soothing and the slow tempo made me contemplate the words more plus I liked the country flavor of her song. Give my vote to <b>Yo La Tengo</b>!<br /><br />If you haven't yet please join me for <a href="http://curiousasacathy.com/2017/05/3-way-take-it-easy-botb-showdown/" rel="nofollow">3 Way "Take It Easy" #BoTB showdown</a>.

Natalie I's version is too perky, too bubbly and too fast paced to suit me. It makes me nervous. That leaves the cover by Yo La Tengo which I definitely like more. The vocals are smooth and unpretentious and the arrangement is much more pleasing to my ears. Give my vote to Yo La Tengo, good buddy! <br /><br />Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.com
