Makes me wonder what really was on Carol's mind when she wrote it. Her own performances are the "optimistic" version (like The Chiffons) but this resentful version is interesting.
Thanks for posting! I love covers, Patty Griffin doing Springsteen, etc, but THIS song completely changed the way I think about this song. Listen to the Chiffons, and you'd swear they were two different songs.
i love this song, and john darnielle is one of my favorites. thanks for uploading this. the whole concert is great. i've given you like half of the views on this vid...teehee
It is also a great Romantic Comedy starring George Clooney!.........When I first heard this cover by my favorite song writer of my favorite classic I was so happy.....I still am actually.
chords?

His live performances are actually BETTER then the album versions. Can't say that about many bands.

This guy is awesome but his face is really distracting when he sings. I'm not sure what emotion he is portraying at 2:01 but great singing anyway.

It's Em, G, A7, Squirrel, and then monkey paw / giraffe head for the chorus.

This gives me goose bumps. I wish that one day I will be as passionate about anything as John Darnielle is about what he does.
