Covers
Bon Jovi have themselves reworked the song several times, including an acoustic live version that served as a precursor to the MTV Unplugged series and a re-recorded version of the song, "Prayer '94", which appeared on U.S. versions of their Cross Road hits collection. But the song has had a life of its own beyond the band, particularly in several dance music incarnations. The Audition recorded a version for Kerrang!'s CD Higher Voltage (June 7). Alvin and the Chipmunks covered this song for their 2008 album Undeniable. Stellar Kart covered the song for their 2005 album All Gas. No Brake. It has also been covered by Philmore.
The song was sung by the female members of the Glee cast as a mash-up with "Start Me Up" by The Rolling Stones for the episode "Never Been Kissed."
Sophie Habibis covered the song during 'Rock Week' on the Eighth Series of X Factor UK.
Swedish hip hop group Looptroop Rockers covered the song on their 2008 album Good Things.

Famous quotes containing the word covers:
“The covers of this book are too far apart.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“And so we ask for peace for the gods of our fathers, for the gods of our native land. It is reasonable that whatever each of us worships is really to be considered one and the same. We gaze up at the same stars, the sky covers us all, the same universe compasses us. What does it matter what practical systems we adopt in our search for the truth. Not by one avenue only can we arrive at so tremendous a secret.”
—Quintus Aurelius Symmachus (A.D. c. 340–402)
“In truth, politeness is artificial good humor, it covers the natural want of it, and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
