I take Ike, partly because he was first, but also because the rest of that Cracker disc bothers me.
Why? I think it rulz.
Having heard the Cracker version first, I was partial to it for some time, then came around to the Ike version, mainly because top to bottom that album kicks so much ass its still almost unbelievable to me.
But, I love the Cracker version. The shambolic groove, the mangled lyrics, the Jackson Herring (WHO THE FUCK IS HE?!!?) references. The lines "stiffs outta the Shannon," and ""He said he t hought it was valet parking for the Holiday Inn Express."
