This version of “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want” is the most similar to the original. Dream Academy retains almost exactly the same lyrics, bass, and tempo. Both flow the same way and are sung by men. It also has a similar melancholy beat.

The deftones cover differs from the Smiths’ original because it has a more intense and heavier sound than The Smiths’ which is slow and sad. The original song has more yearning vocals while Deftones has more of a darker theme. The Deftones use heavier guitars and a more full sound making the song sound more dramatic compared to the original’s simpler style.

This song is least similar to the original. Throughout the video, the song maintains a more upbeat and childlike tone. With no lyrics, the entire song is covered with a xylophone, but still maintains a similar tempo to the original. The song appeals to a younger audience with a calm melody, and the overall mood of which the artists chooses is more joyful in comparison to the more sorrowful original cover.
