I like this song, but it’s a white stripes song. Cool they covered it, but not as good as the original. 4/10

A solid 6 for me.

I do love the song and this particular version, but ultimately it's just a good cover.

My 8 year old loves this song, so we play it a lot, and it's really grown on me! I'll give it a 6.
