The Smiths -- How Soon Is Now?

The first time I played this song in front of my friends at a gathering a few years back, most of them said that they have heard it before, which kind of surprises me, considering this is a very old song from the 80s. Then I found out it was because some second rated band covered this song and some stupid TV show used the cover version for their theme song rather than the original version.

And when I heard the cover version, my reaction was: it sucked. The singer (of the cover version) does not have the gravitas of Morrissey and the guitars in that version doesn't even come close to what Johnny Marr have done in the original version.
