Oh, the Horror!

So as of late, I have developed a secret habit of listening to Beyonces "Best Thing I Never Had" on repeat. Here's the video:

Yeah, I know, I have that same outfit in purple. Anyway, I am not ashamed of my Bey-love. She is an awesome, talented lady and married to/about to give birth to the spawn of Jay-Z. I am way more proud of liking this song than say, "Sparks Fly" by T. Swift (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcfaf3Rk28Y), which I have to turn way down on my drive home when I hit Silverlake Blvd., however jamming nonstop to Beyonce doesn't exactly give me the street cred I crave...

...Which is why I am SO PSYCHED that The Horrors have decided to admit their appreciation for the Goddess B by COVERING "Best Thing I Never Had." Here it is:

Honestly, I like the original better. I appreciate the 80's, Cure-ness of the Horrors' version (as I appreciate the whole 80's, Cure-like thing the band is doing in general now), but the whole point of this song to me is that it's a big, soulful, almost-ballad sung by a true DIVA. Much like "Irreplaceable" (SO. FUCKING. GOOD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EwViQxSJJQ&ob=av2e),  "Best Thing I Never Had" is a you-are-missing-out-on-all-this-hot-shit-you-idiot power ditty that can really only be pulled off by someone like Ms. Knowles. Anyway, the point is, I feel cooler loving this song now that an indie band covered it.
