Wow. Haters gonna hate. I have never seen/heard this song covered before so I don't think there's much basis to determine whether or not they "butchered it".
I honestly think this is close to the best they could have done with this song and I happen to enjoy it a lot. Guess that's just me then.
my boss accuses me of singing this song acoustically to drunk women to win them over (false... "slide" by goo goo dolls is my choice)... would NOT work for this guy.
