They seem to be rather selective about which of their neighbours to love:

As "Rotterdam" was pointing out, this song is an old spiritual/gospel song, which is originally titled "Sinner Man", and recorded by several artists before Peter Tosh, including Nina Simone, in the mid-1960s.

Nina Simone is the High Priestess of this excellent song. This ain't bad, just different. Kudos, RP!

Yes, this is the same song, and although I like the beat and O'Connor's voice is OK, this cannot hold a candle to Nina Simone's stunning version - IMHO.

This Album's musicians list is impressive to say the least:

Agreed!  Spaiglish, Punch Drunk Love...great stuff.  Now, he is regressing into school yard humor...yawn!

Ya know, it wasn't until he actually did some acting in a nearly serious way (Funny People for example) that I gained any appreciation for Sandler.  I know a lot of people find him really funny, but the "swearing retard" shtick only goes so far with me.  You get 3 jokes, after that I better see a sign of intelligence beyond "I have really hairy balls!"

You needn't apologize to Adam Sandler; it is he who owes the world a great many apologies.
