You Gotta Roll With The Punches
This song is the incarnation of everything that was wrong with rock music in the eighties. From the annoying synthesizer hook to the ridiculous show-offish guitar solo: Utterly disgusting and unlistenable crap.
So it's no wonder that every single cover version I found of this song strays in a completely different musical direction: There's the fantastic bluegrass version, sung by none other than Dave Lee Roth himselfs (where manages to make the lyrics sound as hilarious as they are, but which isn't a total piss-take), there's Big Daddy's mash-up with Eddie Cochrane's Summertime Blues, and there's Roddy Frame's version, that transforms the song into a sibling of Sweet Jane by The Velvet Underground with a Sister Ray-ish guitar solo tagged to the end.
If you happen to have another version of this song, feel free to send it in and I'll include it in this list.
