I wish this is what number 1 billboard songs sounded like instead of the usual brainless, homogenized, soulless, predictable, uninspiring, cliche', excuse for music that needs a video to survive. This is perfection beyond perfection!
The Residents specialized in the deconstructing familiar tunes. This version of the Ray Charles classic, seems to have been done in the style of Harry Belafonte's recording of "Mangwane Mpulele", from his "Streets I Have Walked" album.
I'd have to agree, the Residents do awesome versions of other's music. I like all their Elvis stuff so much better than the originals. I think their versions have more substance and emotion.
Thanks for posting, just found the music of the Residents this evening, crazy, did not know their music was that good, will buy lot's of CD's of them, that is for sure
probably the best version of this song i ever heard in mi life.
And that is exactly what i love about this band, they are so good musicians, that they are cappable of taking every song every musical stile, study it from the fundation, bottom and up, and make it bether then the original.
Not sure I'd be able to agree on it being the best version, but it is an amazing cover for sure. Love the really dark interpretation and that horn sounding harmony with the backup voices mix so well.
i don't know why I had to listen until the end...may Ray Charles forgive me!!!

like every residents cover, this one completely obliterates the original and makes it impossible to ever comfortably listen to that original again.

@thehattaman, that's how I feel about "Satisfaction." First several times I heard it I didn't realize it was a cover.
