Lykke Li covers Kings of Leon

I was a really huge fan of Kings of Leon's "Knocked Up," a slow building commitment to running away with your baby momma. It has a rolling beat, like rocks kicking down the road behind your blue Ford Charger as you drive away from your Alabama hometown, and echoing guitars like the pink-gray sunset behind you. Lykke Li covered it recently, and while I think her voice is uniquely great, it just doesn't compare because it lacks the fullness of KOL's original.
