Fred ,'A Hole in the World'
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.
So glad you finally got a copy of that, Jilli!

I'm currently in Canada where I scored a Pointed Sticks CD reissue in the 3-for-$10 bin!
What was the question again? Oh yeah, Kitchens of Distinction. I have no strong feelings about them either way. I've never played 'em on the radio, for what that's worth.
Things you realize, listening to the radio while not fully awake on a Friday morning:
"Satisfaction" has a cha-cha beat. (drum-drum-tambourine-tambourine-tambourine)

Yeah, there are a lot of hidden Latin rhythms in rock.
"Louie, Louie" also has a Latin feel (based on the clave, so a mix of 3 and 2) and so does the Bo Diddley beat.
The real question is, who did the more radical cover of "Satisfaction"?
or
Devo
or
Cat Power?
They are both very awesome in their own way.

That's true.
The Residents ?
Ooh! Dark horse contender!
There's also the live Bjork/PJ Harvey version.
Bonus cover: Cat Power and Karen Elson cover Serge Gainsbourg's "Je t'aime moi non plus".
Sessy.
Wait, are you talking about the Devo version on e-z listening disc or their other version. I'm somewhat partial to the e-z listening disc version myself.
The Residents ?
I need to crank that song in my car with all the windows open. It'll frighten the pedestrians anyway.
"Louie, Louie" also has a Latin feel (based on the clave, so a mix of 3 and 2) and so does the Bo Diddley beat.
"Louie, Louie" feels almost like speeded-up reggae.

Well, it's originally supposed to be a fake calypso song.
Here's the original by Richard Berry.
There's also the live Bjork/PJ Harvey version.
OK, that one ranks up there with the best.
Also, I need an mp3 of that.
