The production values on the original are definitely...something. And yeah, Dennis was definitely a bit too coked up while filming. But it's still a good song.

The cover version is a nice modern update of it, and point for having the female and male switch singing parts as well.

...did not know she covered that song :D! 

Given the lyrics, "I got sick this mornin'" hits very differently with a woman singing it XD. I know that's not what that line is referring to, of course, but...yeah.

Damn, that was a good performance. Makes me rather sad I never saw him live, that would've been a fun show to see. 

I'd never heard that "Killer" song until that clip - I like it!

There are 2 versions, the original by Seal and Adamski (they co-wrote it), then Seal re-recorded it for his debut album. Both versions are similar, though the second version has a slightly slower tempo. But both are worth a listen.

His cover of this song is really enjoyable. Most of his covers of songs were actually.

Joe Cocker used to do a lot of covers, almost always done quite well,  some I liked better than the originals.  In his prime, Joe was a formidable force few could  contend with. His cover at Woodstock of The Beatles "With A Little Help From My Friends" literally blew everyone away.

Speaking of covers and Laura Branigan (from another topic) [out of those that I specifically know]:

Forever Young cover (I think by Alphaville first sung)

The Sweet Hello, the Sad Goodbye (by Roxette first sung)
