7. I agree
In fact, that may be the only cover of a Beatles song that is better than their original take. Although I do like Elton John's "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" quite a bit as well, maybe as much as the original; it was the first version of the song I heard.

9. Exactly, it's the only one that, in my opinion, is better than
the original. Plenty of cool covers have been done, but only Joe surpassed the original. Kind of like what Hendrix did with Watchtower. He not only covered it, but took it and made it his own.

3. Other- "Fool on the Hill" by Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66.
I very much like the cover version of this song.

19. Are you kidding?
If it weren't for drunken sibling fistsfights, Grandma's funeral would've been an utter bore.
