Original: 8 Wonderfully done. :wub:

Cover: 6. Amazing singing, however, just doesn't stand up.

Original x4

Cover x1

CCR - 6 - One of my favorite groups and probably 7.5 if not for the superior cover.

Ike & Tina - 10 - worn out, but I can understand why it became the more popular and definitive version.

Cover x5 :ninja:

Ironically, don't like either at all though :dontgetit::ninja: , but good lyrics though :) .
