The Mystery Suggester posted this on Facebook about a week ago, and I've listened to it about eighty times since. And it'll probably be another eighty listens before anything close to a normal attention span returns. I keep going back to it. Listen to it. If the intro doesn't grab your you know what, if the horns don't do it, or the "sssss" enunciation, or the building of the song in its entirety; if none of that moves you, just go on and git. Get on out of here. At least for the next eighty spins or so.

have you heard tom jones' version? just did a quick comparison, and it seems the backing on al wilson's "the snake" is pretty much identical. no idea why.

When I was posting it, in the back of my head I was thinking "didn't Tom Jones do that?" I actually did a cursory check of Wikipedia, YouTube and Who Sampled Who, and didn't find anything. Thanks for the tip.
