Any other songs you can think of where the background singers really make a song GREAT?
The cover of "Stairway to Heaven" performed by Barry Crocker and the Doug Anthony All Stars.
Oh! And on "Return of the Mack"! They're hilarious!
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The background singer - the high descant one - on Ain't No Way is Whitney Houston's mother.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I just downloaded the I Feel So Far Away anthology album by Moe Tucker. Damn, her version of "Heroin" is good.
I bought Life In Exile After Abdication when it came out (around 1990?) and really liked it. I've also seen her live once or twice around then.
She's awesome.
(She's most famous for being the drummer of The Velvet Underground, in case you didn't know.)

Fuck. No, I didn't know that.
Actually, that surprises me, considering her song "Spam Again" about working at Kmart for a greedy boss who pays his workers shit and how if the workers tried to organize or ask for benefits they'd get fired.
eta: Now that I think of it, I don't think she actually talks about workers organizing in that song. It was "Don't ask for a raise or benefits" or something like that.
