And speaking of Bo Diddley, a cool song and cool video by another musician 30 years later, featuring a Bo Diddley guitar riff on the song and the great Bo Diddley himself as an actor in the video (sorry if you can't see this Brits but it's the only one on YouTube):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyhJ69mD7xI&ob=av2n

The more I watch this video the more I can't help but thinking that in terms of music videos for a pure rock and roll track, this one has to be the best I've seen. Pretty advanced for its time, tells a little story that completely fits with the theme of the song, and includes Bo Diddley and Philadelphia pool legend Willie Mosconi not just as cameos but as non-speaking actors that actually drive the little story. I could watch this over and over and not get bored or jaded.

Anyhow, here's a third version, yes, a third version, of Del Shannon's "Runaway", this one was re-recorded with some updated lyrics especially for the short-lived (think it was just 2 seasons) but thoroughly awesome TV show "Crime Story" in the mid 1980s (produced and directed by Michael Mann, pilot episode directed by Abel Ferarra):

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

Bluesy organ and piano with some classic American rock. Lovely.

This video inspired me to get a cowbell and cowbell stand.

The rest of the thread tells me I voted right on Bererella's new vote thread.

But arX's first, is the one I would listen to if I had the time. Afro

It's the best version as well imho

Edit: whoops, arX's first one on this page.
