I was going to do the original, but I like this one better.

Joan Jett covers are always better. Just ask yourself, who would you rather be your dog. Iggy Pop or Joan Jett?
I also prefer the Joan Jett and the Blackhearts cover.

Fun fact, they weren’t “Tommy James & The Shondells” until after their first record started to take off .. they were just “The Shondells” .. Tommy and the record company paid off the rest of the band, hired a completely new set of Shondells, and went on to make a good bit of money…
.
Apparently, Tommy is still touring, go figure.

Anyone who ever had a series of hits can make a decent living playing those songs on modest tours. And, if you actually enjoy entertaining people, why stop just because the crowds are smaller and the dates a little farther apart?
And never forget Joan’s other band, The Barbusters, and their cover of Springsteen. Is that David St. Hubbins from Spinal Tap I see?
