I cannot stop listening to it. I've had it stuck in my head again and again throughout the last few months.
Nina Simone's version was a great classic, the only other rendition that even comes close is Prince Poppycock's imo.
His powerful, sonorous voice takes the song to a completely different direction than Nina Simone does, but I think it is a great juxtaposition. Bright, cheerful, powerful, optimistic (and humorous) vs. melancholy, wistful, soft of Simone's version.
