Aussie bloke with a guitar

It was fine originally, but I really like this version.

Claptons second acoustic version of Layla counts, too.

I really can't hear the original here.

In reply to Streetwiseguy :

Ha! When I saw the thread title, I was immediately going to suggest Colin Hay's album Man at Work!

The whole album is really good, and I was admittedly pretty tired of the original stuff when the new versions were released. And the new stuff is 22 years old already!

Elvis Costello's re-vamp of his seminal "(What's so funny about) Peace, Love, and Understanding?"

The more recent (but gosh now still old) mellow, slower version may have displaced the youthful furor of the original both for Mr. Costello and for many of us.

Louiche Mayorga co-wrote Institutionalized, the evergreen single from Suicidal Tendencies’ 1983 debut album.  

 

Six years ago, he released a Spanish version with his current band, Luicidal.

(True story: I interviewed Louiche about the new version for my zine a few years ago.)

Of course that's where my mind went.  I liked some of the extra bits, but always fast forward past the singing lady in Jabba's palace in Return of the Jedi.

In reply to David S. Wallens :

I thought 1983 was a typo.  I had no idea when I "discovered" ST in the mid 90s that I was basically listening to Classic Rock.  I guess I'm going to go buy some metamucil and shop for a retirement facility or something now.

I discovered them around 1987 when I first got to the ship in the Navy.  I wore that cassette out.  And if you want to hear an updated version, Body Count does a very funny version.
