Sounds boss with with the sun on your boat

Tune is so good it deserves two versions at least.  First Nina Simone's, which is just one of the most perfect things I've ever heard:

 

 

and then this awesome cover:

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Mmmm crusty:

 

 

 

Second one - I was walking through Exchange Square in Manchester one day last summer on the way to work and there was a guy busking who started playing this as I was just passing him.  Walking pace slowed, then stopped, then I turned round and ended up sat on the pavement leaning back against a planter whilst he played.  Must have looked particularly odd because it was one of the rare days that I needed to wear a suit, shirt and tie for work.  When he finished I got up and gave him a tenner.  I was engaged 20 years ago and the song is one of two by NMA that were 'our songs' - his version of it was at least as good as the original and coming completely out of left field as it did, it just blew me away. 

 

Anyway I told him that as I chucked my tenner in, told him he was great and said thanks for sending me off to work with a smile on my face.  Fucker only went and did the song below, which is the other one.

Rolling Stones should have had them in court for the intro to Love Removal Machine.  Great tune though.

 

Ian Astbury sounds almost freakishly like Glenn Danzig. (see below)
