Who recorded the definitive version?

I'll take Hall & Oates b/c the bridge works so much better w/ a little funk behind it. Spector needed to tighten it up.

I like Maverick and Icemans version best.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 21:16 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't remember Iceman in that scene. I thought it was Maverick and Goose.

ah shit, your right.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 21:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey, it's an honest mistake. But there's a big difference, is all I'm saying.

I like the Human League version because I love Phil Oakey's perfect voice. Pretty unexceptional in most other areas.

So it lays out like this:

1) Maverick & Goose
2) Human League
3) Hall & Oates
4) The Righteous Brothers

The mystery as to what shall appear as my epitaph is cleared up thanx to Mark's preceding post.

I heard the Hall & Oates version first, and always thought it sounded 'cleaner' than the original version.

Let us not forget the version done by The Firm (anyone remember that one?) Either way, it's dead last on the list.

The version I like the most is the one by Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra. Although I love Phil Spector. But it's way more scary then the original.

golly, I guess I'll be the lone vote for the Righteous Bros. here

not a lot of love for Phil Spector round here but damm that's a hott trak

isn't this being iconoclastic for the sake of being iconoclastic? get real, you folks who voted for H&O. (and i say this as someone who likes a good bit of H&O!)
