when i search for this song in itunes i find i have two live versions, one from the walker lounge in 1993 (in 1993 i was 7 years old and not alowed to use the toaster unsupervised, so i wasn't at the walker lounge), and one from the zoop request show in 2007, (in 2007 i was 20 years old and a very poor university student, so i was not at the zoop request show).
what do we hear when we play the 93 take? a very polite smattering of applause. the 07 version? screaming and cheering and stamping and hoopla. but who cares about that, i don't care about that, what i care about is the fact that that first word, that glourious, glourious, drawn out i, it's there in both of them. i love that extended i. i've got no manners, and you've got no manners, (no manners at all), and that 'i' is the bestly sung first word of any song, anywhere.
