I love it when rock artists get bigass orchestras involved. The Moody Blues at Red Rocks with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra is grand.

Definitely check out the movie as well, if you're into Terry Gilliam's work. The song really matches up well with the loneliness and desire for meaning the main character strives for.

The loss of George Michael's dulcet tones is tragic, but I always liked Seether's cover of Careless Whisper was pretty good.

Postmodern Jukebox did a good version of it (and a lot of other songs) too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVXziMFEqX0

Not gonna disagree that this is a great song, but the artist is actually Moxy Früvous. The incorrect attribution is a relic from the days of Napster, when every remotely comical song was supposedly by Weird Al and every remotely quirky song was supposedly by They Might Be Giants.


I prefer Yeasayer's version (music starts around 1:40):

For some reason, Stuck in the Middle with You was going around attributed to the Steve Miller Band. Holy poo poo. I forgot there was a time when you couldn't instantly look that poo poo up and get a correct answer.
