*: Shut up. I love that song.
**: The effect of hearing this right after a Can song is every bit as brain-melting as you might think.
***: I’m sure I’m the only person who prefers this version to Otis Redding’s. No disrespect to Otis, but the drumming on 3DN’s version makes the difference.
****: This group features a really young Debbie Harry on vocals.
