Makes me miss the original...S.P. wrote sophisticated tunes with interesting lyrics (gee, Steely Dan did too, huh?) Nice try for art-school, modern-day alt emo schmubbs. Guitarist missed the real full chord voicings but then whaddya gonna do?
I would have muted the strat guitar parts and attempted to find a way to imply the harmony rather than play such involved full chords.
Just my opinion. I still have a copy of one of the original 12" vinyl singles of this song and saw it on TV! I loved Scritti Politti heaps as a young whipper-snapper.
Ach, but it's far too up-tempo and glib, even, you could say then he goes and spoils it all.. and where's Miles Davis to lift it into the stratosphere? Yes, I know he's no longer with us...
Sad about Miles, I agree, but I always thought the original dragged a bit - guess I never got over the transition from scratchy (skank bloc bologna etc) to (admittedly-deliberately) cloying. I think Green would like the glibness.

Pretty pointless, though inoffensive cover. Couldn't you have dug Miles up?

Why does the original keep disappearing? What reason could there be? Foul language users need not reply.

Right on, a beautiful, pure love song. As good as Motown; "almost as good as Presley", huh, EBTG fans?

Not a patch on the original, but not entirely reprehensible either.
