@brianwilliamso A Williamson taking the mickey! Never. It's not a Neil Young song but I have heard his frankly awful version off Weld. A quick search of Wikipedia attributes Don and Dewey as the writers.
I did @tomdwilly. It's the fastest, most frantic version I've heard of it. I dig it. Here's the Don & Dewey version, which I guess is the original. http://youtu.be/40bStlJyqsg
@gogokrista I think that translates as "tomdwilly is taking the michael?" which is a funny way of saying "taking the mickey" or making fun of something. Love that Don & Dewey version by the way.

Great version. Was always rather partial to The Searchers' version myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwQUqCUJJPk
