@7r0773r Yeah! Me too! Vega said that he felt the Springsteen version was beautiful and he hoped it would be the last song he heard before he died...maybe he was just trying to encourage more covers...
@whogan I think it loses something in Bruce's version. While it gains in sentiment as a ballad, there are levels of humour in the original....and just it's not so over the top in feeling that it is believable if that makes sense...it does not have the fairy tale feel of Bruce's effort....if that makes sense?

I think it is also interesting to compare this Orbison song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4gqxMOhFRM

No one else comes close to this version for me...

Have not heard this for a long time - great, and also my fave version - in fact I always thought it was the original
corcorankelly
@BarneyRubble It is the original...
Axol
Great but not everyones' cup of tea I admit.
BarneyRubble
@corcorankelly Good, that means all the brain-cells are not yet fried :-)
corcorankelly
@lynn200 That makes sense because the band was hot on the heels of the velvet underground
corcorankelly
@MyBlueElephant Cool! Me too!

@Axol No, not everyone's cup of tea...but definitely one of Suicide's more mainstream songs!!!
corcorankelly
@BarneyRubble No, definitely not fried...working like a dream!!!

jwmcglone
@corcorankelly there's a reason bruce closes his sets with this tune. it just works for an ending.
corcorankelly
