(h/t DeLong).
This is another one of those “songs around the world” featured in the Playing for Change documentary. I got my first taste of this project with this little gem.
But I’m with DeLong on this one: I never thought this was a song to cover, given how thoroughly Mick and Keef and the rest own it. But I was wrong. And on a day within a run of days during which the worst among us seek to deny our connections to each other…well why not a little DFH musical open thread to throw in their shriveled, joyless faces?
Have at it, all.
