Thanks to the Wonder Years, this song induces nostalgia even in those of us who weren’t around for this or the original Beatles version.

I feel like every song Pat Benatar covered improved upon the original

Sorry, but I have to disagree on this one. Dolly's version was sweet. I found Whitney's to be over the top with bombast. But I typically like both of them a lot (even though I'm no country music fan)

It's fun thinking about all these songs and time periods!


NP but no way can Dolly even hold a candle to Whitney’s version. Dolly even admits it!


I also prefer Dolly's version over Whitney's. Agree with the PP about the bombast. Just too much.
