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...
