We're Not Like Everybody Else



Here's three different covers of the Kinks' "I'm Not Like Everybody Else".

The Chocolate Watchband (Los Altos, CA). Introduced to me by my friend Jesse as 'the most punk song ever', this version is certainly the hardest of the three.
The Sacred Mushroom (Cincinnati, OH). This version is much more subdued and laid back, but still holds a mean torch to the band's dark side.
The Finchley Boys (Chicago, IL). This version is similar to the Sacred Mushroom's attempt, but that ugly wah-wah guitar adds an urgency to the track. The vocals sound the most tortured of the three, naturally putting the lyrics to good use.

Which is your favorite?
