The Swedish garage-rock pyrotechnicians crib from an unlikely source on this comeback single: ELO's "Don't Bring Me Down," whose main riff becomes this tune's backbone. The Hives dispense with the original's orchestral pomp in favor of horns and glam-rock stomp, but even Pelle Almqvist's howl can't help the track escape its source material's shadow.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
