why have they re-recorded it with Neneh and Annie tho? i mean, they're both GREAT but i can't imagine them doing a better job on this than Paola's original super-great treatment. just doesn't seem like the right kind of song for them. i must listen and see for myself tho...thanks for the tip.
Well, the Annie version might be because Annie's a Pitchfork star. I've never heard the original, but Neneh's version actually works beautifully; the vocals are deliberately washed-out and pale, however, so if you heard it you wouldn't say to yourself, "That's Neneh." (I was so tired last night when I listened to the Annie version that I don't remember it.)
