I don't understand why so many bands try to cover "Ballroom Blitz", though.

Because it's easy to play?

"Louie Louie" is a song that's easy to play and the worse a band plays it, it can still manage to capture the essence of the Kingsmen's version.

The Kinks' "You Really Got Me" is also easy to play, if it's played badly, it really shows.

I've heard covers of "Ballroom Blitz" ranging from metal to rockabilly, and they all sounded dull compared to the original. The only competent cover of it I've ever heard is Nina Hagen's version.
