I might do a video but for now it's just an awesome recording. I had fun recording this today. No need to chastise me for my voice. I was going for Screamin' Jay Hawkins during the chorus.

Lots of fun. The screaming stuff made me think of Yoko Ono sabotaging John Lennon's work in the 70"s.

This is probably the coolest cover I've heard of this song, and the only time I can remember liking it more was watching Roy Munson and Big Ern McCracken in the battle of the comb-overs in Kingpin Thanks a million for sharing, Johnnny.... You Rock!!
