Random Cover Song Thursday: Taking Back Sunday cover Tom Petty’s “Yer So Bad”

Cover songs are like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get. We here at Dying Scene love hearing punk bands do their own take on other band’s songs. Sometimes they pull off amazing interpretations of old classics, sometimes they’re not much more than humble tributes to a fellow artist, and other times they’re just downright laughable renditions of otherwise great songs. Good or bad. Intriguing or mundane. We’ll let you be the judge.

This week, it’s Taking Back Sunday covering the Tom Petty classic, “Yer So Bad.” It’s worth noting that this is not the first time TBS have covered Petty (check YouTube if you don’t believe me).

Check out the cover and compare it to the original here.

You can find the original on Petty’s 1989 solo album, “Full Moon Fever.”
