Also recorded by Orgy (released 1998), Flunk (released 2002) and Kurd Maverick (released 2008), among 458 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz.

From the counter

Gilbert, Hook, Morris and Sumner all share the credit on this one, and it kept getting picked up by other acts for decades. Orgy cut it in 1998, so play theirs next to the band's own 1996 recording and hear how far it traveled.
