Not quite as dramatic a difference as the one you posted...

INXS. THIS JUST GRABS ME...
... and holds me there. Almost spiritual for me. I find both to be appoggiatura in its mesmerizing best form.

I like Patti Smith's version better.

ETA: Actually according to the premise of this thread I screwed up on this one since I've never listened to Leadbelly. I have listened to the other two, still a considerable contrast.

Also these:
Unlike movies, I find that "re-makes" of songs are very often better than the originals.

Both are a little avaunt guard for me but if I had to choose I'd go with the Yo La Tengo version...Sue U wrote:Also these:

Re: From this. To this.
I was referring more to the original.
But I was drawn to the Shonen Knife version from the first time I heard it in some movie soundtrack, and it's become sort of addictive, mangled English and all.

Re: From this. To this.
I must say that from the first time I heard the original version of that Carpenter's song, I thought it was one of the gayest songs ever performed.
I had never given much thought to the Carpenters other than I really liked 'Close to You' - and that was because my girlfriend at the time declared that it was our song.
But later when I saw Richard Carpenter interviewed and heard him sing some song about playing the piano while everyone else was outside doing stuff - I decided he was gay.
And of course being the manly man that I have always been, gay people in the 70's were fun people to talk to, but they weren't cool and they were all perverts.
Since then I've slowly become a bit more enlightened and I now realize that being gay is just being gay. Just like not being gay is just being heterosexual.
But I still think that most gay people are naturally funny.
Have I offended anybody yet?
I hope not.
