It's a masterpiece as well, for sure.

There are a lot of great covers of the tune. I love Dean Wareham's. Every time he plays it, he seems to find something new.

His cover tends toward melancholy. Peter Hook's, a little angry, sometimes triumphant. There's a cover by Day Wave that's almost happy. Several ambient covers that range from, I dunno, anhedonic to transcendent.
