So, which is everyone's favorite version of Lamb/TRatB? I'd rank T&M #1
because of the muscle behind it, followed closely by the alternate version
on the SFG CD. I do like the "precursor to Hot Rails" ending of the official
SFG version, though I'd rank it my least favorite version overall.

The BOC album version has its cool "Ride, mush you huskies," but it lacks
those great harmonies of the alt. SFG version and the punch of the T&M
version.

Speaking of knickers and football kickers (although of the Soccer variety),
is it true that Manchester United signed a 12-year-old?
