Blur delivered a proto-Britpop run through of the Rod Stewart golden oldie for the NME's 'Ruby Trax' charity compilation.
It bowls along rowdily like a gang of Pearly Kings in a transit van after an afternoon on the sauce.
The drums sound like cardboard boxes being beaten with kitchen roll tubes, a squelchy organ weaves drunkenly around like one of the Inspiral Carpets broke into the studio after hours, and Damon mostly sings within himself, unable to decide whether to get into the song and blast it out or 'ave it all ironical an' that instead.
Less essential than Suede's take on 'Brass In Pocket' but fun nonetheless.
