I don't prefer any of them, it's a song that haunted me all through my younger years living in Glasgow slums, it was the song playing over and over in my home and the homes of all my friends, all our mums played it over and over, and we all hated it. Nobody had any dads still around in my memory of back then.
Anyhow I gotta admit it has to be a classic.
I had no idea it was a cover, thanks for your post.
