Searched on itunes... some person called "Jen Wayne" did a techno remix... the popularity bar, surprisingly, is empty...

Aye Gary Jules was a decent cover song - though I am sick of it these days - toooo much airtime - prefered it when just me n Donnie knew about it!!


Sure there are others that I can't think of right now....can I get back to you on that ?

nah man, that aint got shit on marley, he completely controls that record, a cover attempt is stupid. agree that they were the best and only group to cover it succesfully but even then, hasnt got a spot on gong.
