Okay so my told me that the song "There she goes" was originally sung by the Velvet Underground not the La's like I had thought. So I downloaded the Velvet Underground's original version of the song and it sounds NOTHING like the La's version. The lyrics aren't even the same. Can the La's version even be considered a cover when it doesn't even sound like the so-called original?

It's not at all the same. They just have the same title. That's like saying that No Doubt's "Sunday Morning" is a cover of the VU song.
EDIT: The VU song is also called "There She Goes Again", not "There She Goes", so they don't even have that in common.

Bingo.

Akin to the Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians HEAVEN as a cover of Talking Heads HEAVEN.

God my brother is such a douche. He tries to be this music expert. I'm gonna go punch him in the back of the neck. (Well after I drive the 4 hours to get to his place.)

I don't think bashing his wife would go over very well considering she left him for a Scottish Used Car Salesman. I'm gonna stick to punching him in the neck.
