if you are going to do a cover you need to make it your own, Sonic Youth's cover of the Carpenter's classic, not only did this, but the made it even more haunting and distant. It still send a shiver down my spine when the chorus kicks in
This is a great song, kind of odd that it ended up on the Juno Soundtrack... I remember it was on the "If I Were a Carpenter" tribute album, which is one of my favorite cover album.
On another cover lover with Sonic Youth, check out their cover of Into the Groove.
It is truly a great song, and quite cute how it was worked into the story line of Juno.. I haven't listened to if I were a carpenter for years, maybe it's time to revist Shonen Knife's version of Top Of The World
Ciccone Youth also do a great cover of Addicted to Love.... in fact that whole album is filled with fantastic twisted pop
