Reader Jenni Wiltz flags an acoustic rendition of a high-octane pop song:

I just discovered your cover collection today. It saved my workday from total PMS destruction, so thank you! Here’s my nomination: Brian Fallon from Gaslight Anthem covering Kelly Clarkson’s “I Do Not Hook Up” for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge. The BBC program host is a little overwhelmed at the end—understandably so, once you pass the 2:53 mark.

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful collection of songs!
