96 VERSIONS

Ok..not all in one post but here's a start...
My old Memphis band,the Weight,used to encore with this song,and it was always a kick to play as well as a crowd pleaser.(we actually rocked it up more than any of these versions). I wish i still had the cassette recording from one of our shows,but it bit the dust long ago.
I think our version pre-dated the Cramps',another infamous Memphis band. We just played it heavier and the lead singer upped the frantic ante....we also did a great version of "thunder road" by Springsteen,but i digress a bit on the nostalgia.....
