I've never heard Springsteen's version of "Dancing in the Dark," and frankly, I don't think I would ever want to. That song was one of my mother's favorites--she liked to sing it while accompanying herself on the piano. This is my favorite version:
Dancing in the Dark--Waring's Pennsylvanians (with the Three Girl Friends)
It’s not a cover. It’s his own song. (He can’t give up his integrity as a “songwriter”, after all, but he sure can steal song titles.)
