hiç bir grup o şarkıları the smiths gibi söyleyememiş, kah hızlandırmışlar kah(çoğunlukla) yavaşlatmışlardır ama o tadı yakalayamamışlardır.

(talkingheads - 3 Eylül 2004 23:55)

ama,
schneider tm 'in there is a light that never goes out
belle and sebastian'ın ve jeff buckley'in the boy with the thorn in his side
muse'un please please please let me get what i want
supergrass'ın some girls are bigger than others
coverları da dinlenmeye deger.

tatu how soon is nowı coverlamıştır başarısız olmuştur. kendilerine sorulmuştur "siz the smiths, morrissey dinlermisiniz, severmisiniz?" cevap; "yok biz bilmeyiz menejer istedi coverladık" olmuştur.

cover olmasa da pearl jamin you are şarkısının başındaki sample'lar, eddie vedderın da zamanında belirttiği gibi, how soon is nowun melodisinden uyarlanmadır

paradise lost - how soon is now
