Cover vs. Original

David Watts

On behalf of my dear friend Bo Schött - Michael Caine of Bromma - I put in yet another Ray Davies-song in the contest. I know Bo will vote for Jam, but not me. The original version by Kinks is much better. Much more charm and nerve. My vote to the Muswell Hillbillies.
