Another purveyor of tuneful ditties has spoken.
Meanwhile, the Latin music chap whom Trump misgendered when claiming her/him as a supporter ("Do you know Nicky? She's hot!"), has gone to ground and unendorsed Trump.

When I do, it tends to just confirm that it's 'well done pop'... I listened to 'Shake It Off' only after I'd rehearsed a brass arrangement of it for graduations. With all the hype, I thought Adele was going to be something I'd regret having missed, but after a couple of songs, I just thought 'meh' (not least as I don't like her voice).
The first time I heard Wonderwall was in this version, and which I still know much better (as I've played it too) than the original:

I’ve got that Paul Anka album. There’s some great covers on there, you sit listening and think a song is vaguely familiar and after a while you realise what it is. Smells Like Teen Spirit was a favourite of mine.

I've done several of them with various bands, and yes, they work on their own rights... Eye of The Tiger ought to be terrible, but it is just so well done (as is Smells Like Teen Spirit) that it kind of messes with your head when you hear the original afterwards. Anka's got a great voice too, though he is a massive jerk, as evidenced by this (sadly the audio has disappeared from the interweb) :
