Hilary Duff. IMO it was an abomination, not least because of her
altering the lyric to "Hope I DON'T die before I get old."...although
I know of at least one fan who defended it ardently, apparently based
on his moppet's love of all things Duff.

Actually, The Zimmers' version is quite an on-target statement of
revolt and defiance by a group that feels it's being shoved aside.
Very much in the spirit of the original.
