There are some songs that I don’t think can be covered better than the original. This is one. If you find any good covers of this song, please put it in the comments.

Perhaps you already know this but while the simple minds version isn't a cover, they didn't write it.

It was written for them by a composer and a producer pair.

I didn't know this, but a lot of hit songs happen like that.
