And if you do NOTHING ELSE, even if you don’t play the above track, I can’t recommend this video highly enough, I cannot urge you strongly enough to play this, it is absolutely bloody brilliant
Talvez mais uma versão proxima semana. Talvez não.

I went to check whether I had a download of the Elton John version and I found I had a copy of this
Mudgrass - Pinball Prison Blues
There's probably a third and fourth version out there too!
ReplyDeleteIt's not quite bluegrass, but I wonder if you've heard the "punkabilly tune" - "Purty Vacant" by The Kingswoods?

Argh - A clown singing Pinball Wizard. I shall have sleepless nights (although strangely transfixing).
ReplyDeleteThose silent glances from camera to camera at the end of the video mean that I'll be sleeping with the light on tonight.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it sacrilege to say you prefer the Elton version. (I might do too... it's a close call.)
