1. It's hovering on the edge of the kind of preciousness that makes me want to choke Zooey Deschanel. In fact Zooey punched herself in the face when she heard this cover because she realized that she missed a huge opportunity.
2. It's almost the kind of sweet, sweet song that some pretty library science major wrote with a broken music box and a waxed paper kazoo.
3. Frankly, I'm a little bored with the "I'm going to take a song that totally evokes (insert feeling X) and perform it in a way that evokes (insert feeling Y)" genre of covers (e.g., Wow, heavy metal band, you totally flipped that Joni Mitchell song on its head!).
4. At least it's a Morrissey cover.
5. It's not that bad.
