Oh, man, forcing the "big hit" version of the song by Glen Campbell to stand alongside interpretations by Johnny Cash and Ray Charles? arse_hat, you are CRUEL!

That said, my guess on that Richard Harris song... would it have been also done by Donna Summer? (Alright, what moran left the cake out in the rain?)

Urge Overkill also did a GREAT version of this song in the 90s.

Thanks for these, a_h!
