Cover art for You Really Got a Hold on Me (Smokey Robinson cover) lyrics by She & Him

I love most of what She & Him do, but I'm not real crazy about this cover. It's way too slow and forcibly melodramatic. All of the swing of the Miracles original is gone (and of the Beatles' cover of it, for that matter), and it ends up being more of a funeral dirge, and a bit of a creepy one, too.

My Opinion
