Song of the Day - Sweet Jane

By The Velvet Underground and Cowboy Junkies

I prefer Velvet Underground's version since it has an unbeatable groove and Lou Reed at his playful best ("Just watch me now!"). But the Cowboy Junkies version is awfully good, if a little too moody and downbeat. VU's version also seems more timeless and not stuck in the Reality Bites- Gen X navel gazing mid 90s.

I still love the CJ version in Natural Born Killers - I can hear Juliette Lewis and Woody talking now..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYZa70LOXm8
