Umbrella (Rihanna Cover)

Excuse this thread if it's been posted before. But I thought it to good to not to risk it.

One of my all time favourite bands, the Manic Street Preachers, have a history of covering unlikely songs. This could be one of the best!

This was pretty cool. This song gets allot of flack, but I love the lyrics and the way it has been interpreted by OTHER people...I wonder what it would have sounded like coming from Britney,(who it was originally written for).

The song has a melody so it's unlikely Britney would touch it. Thank God.

For me, the Manics version is the only one that reveals this track to be a genuinely great song.
