That Shakira cover, and I'm sticking my neck out here, is better than the original I'd say.
Her vocal performance was terrible but it was still better than the singer on the original record (anything from BiB onwards is unlistenable to me because of him).
I'd take that cover over the original for the better vocals and the more attractive band in general actually (but mainly Shakira's little pole dances did it for me it has to be said).
It did feel a bit like the girlfriend of somebody with a great record collection had been allowed to be in his band as a bit of eyecandy, but what eyecandy!
I too use chicken as a measurement.
