He had a variety show?

They do it note for note, actually. I didn't hear the Merry Go Round version until the 90s, and I was astounded by how slick it was.steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-69268300618285767222007-10-04T11:02:00.000-04:002007-10-04T11:02:00.000-04:00Great clip.

I also like the later MGR stuff where he goes into Left Banke territory.<BR/><BR/>Didn't the Bangles cover "Live" too? I recall that did a pretty nice version. Of course, Susanna Hoffs could sing the phone book and I'd be down with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
