I mean, if it's association with JUNO rubs you the wrong way or something, then that's one thing. But I dont think you can deny that it's an especially great rendition of a song that could have easily been an embarrassing mess of an attempt.

I've never seen Juno, but I don't know... Superstar wouldn't even be in my top 200 of Sonic Youth songs. Thurston's sort of whispery voice rubs me the wrong way. He sounds great on Tokyo Eye, but in this cover, he sounds all too pretentious. I do enjoy the Carpenters version though. It's one of my mom's favorite songs.
