Almost better than the original ! But we always like the original better because we're neuro-chemically more susceptible to deeper audio memory imprints when pubescent, especially when drugs are involved. See outrageous success of, say, Darkside of the mu-mu which was often originally listened to drugged and young. Get it ! ? 10 gazillion in total world-market sales ? Warren's Dad was a ranking mobster. Hence: "Dad, met outta THIS one."
Okay, I looked it up- most of the results say, "Dad."
Plus- look at his mouth when he says the word- clearly a "d" at the beginning and end of the word. Sounds like a "d", too. Not to mention the vowel in between, if you have any sense of his accent at all.
Finally, it makes sense in context. The narrator is a spoiled American brat in his 20s who thinks he can do anything with anyone, anywhere, and his powerful father will fix it all for him.
There are two things you need to remedy a bad situation. One, of course, is money. The other – as a last resort – is your handgun. Make that, Lawyers, Guns, & Money!
Like your video to go with the song....especially the CIA men! Every time I hear this song I wish I had been a waitress or with the CIA, per this song! I love it. I heard him do this with just his piano. No one else on stage. He still rocked!!! Man next to me had cotton stuffed into his ears. He did that for 'heavy metal' concerts. That made the show that much better. Sure wish I had written WZ about that man next ot me. He probably would have written a song.... Thanks for your video & song!

The same old story. We don't miss water 'til the well runs dry. We don't miss Warren Z 'til he's gone. RIP, my teacher. Peace

wish i could have seen Warren in concert it's too bad he passed away. He was truly gifted as was Joe Strummer.
