Because I'm such a 'Smiths' fan it is easy to be cynical about any covers of their songs. Jeff Buckley, yes.. but Mark Ronson, no. French duo 'Mensch' managed to pull off the Smiths classic "This Charming Man" from their EP 'Dance or Die'... they slowed it down, gave it a retro kraut rock beat and a vocal style a little like 'Nouvelle Vague'. A simple idea but a great result.
