I believe that's so.
Keeping on with the celtic theme, I also liked the Lick the Tins version of "Can't Help Falling in Love" much more than Elvis's version.
Not so sure this counts as a cover so much as a traditional, but who cares, "Dirty Old Town" by the Pogues really kicks the living shit out of every version that preceded it.
100% agree re Devo's "Satisfaction." It was featured in either "Casino" or "Goodfellas" both of which I have seen recently and I love that version. Totally turns the song inside out, which also was very much in keeping with Devo.
