They always play "Goin' Out of My Head" between ad breaks on Sky TV here in
the UK.  For so long I wondered whether this was supposed to be a Who cover
or just a rip off.

My favourite Who covers are:

    - So Sad About Us - The Jam
    - Substitute - Sex Pistols (or Blur for that matter)
    - Baba O' Riley - The  Hinnies

But I've always thought: The Who do better covers of other peoples' songs
than others do of theirs.
