I love George McCrae, but this was a nondespcript 70's Disco track, Yo La Tengo made it hypnotic.

I actually had to find this on an old tape and make a 'video' of it and stick it on YouTube myself 'cos no-one's even heard of it, much less uploaded it. The quality sucks, but then it is a thirty year old cassette:

The Thin Lizzy version is awesome, this one is every bit as good.

This song has been covered by a whole load of people but I think Mr Cash's version is absolutely wonderful.

The Thin Lizzy version is awesome, this one is every bit as good.

But as the Lizzy version is itself a cover of the original I would nominate the Lizzy version.

If anyone does not know the original .. Has a charm of its own.
