I was so impRessed with Rong>EdsonRong>'s coveR of "I Believe in a Thing Called Love by Rong>The DaRknessRong> that I've added it to my own mp3 playlist. I still think it's kind of a cheap stab at success to coveR a song that's alReady somewhat of a hit, but whateveR. If it's good, it's good. Download on the Right.
