Given this clarification, I totally agree with Joe.  When the song
was released originally, I dug this tune.  But then I played in a
band that covered the song.  And after rehearseing it a zillion
times, and playing it out another zillion times, and then hearing it
at EVERY BOC gig since then, I'm not exactly in love with big greenie
anymore...
