The original please. That lives. This one sounds dead. No feeling in it.
Gimme the Roling Stones' version or even better, Bette Midler's

lighten up. Performers are not always at the top of their game, and songs don't always have to have deep meaning or solve the worlds problems.
This make me tap my toes and smile, what more do you need?
Edit: it also seems to get bumped up a point every time I hear it.

yeah, but does that merit TWO versions of this pleasant, but, let's face it, marginal ditty?
buckwheat zydeco could instead cover "a day in the life" or bach's "bouree" or ANYTHING, SOMETHING, that's at least slightly challenging.
the stones' version was quite adequate, thank you. let's move on here. |

Nice cover.
Have also heard that about Buckwheat -- shows start late, but they rock. Must be a Louisiana thing.

When he's on, Buckwheat puts on one of the best live shows. I lose about 10lbs of sweat each time.
