Is there a better over-the-top, self-pitying crooner out there?

the Low cover, great as it is, doesn't improve on the original though.

The Faith No More version has a marvellous video. Great song that I've not heard nearly enough - must download.

haven't heard the original but the Faith No More version manages to take the piss AND be sincerely touching at the same time.

four years pass...

I was introduced to this song by a friend who told me when he was a kid he used to fantasize that it was written from the point of view of Hitler. The image of Hitler singing this song just fucking CRACKS ME UP

Revive!

We were listening to this in my car yesterday on the way back from the doctor's office and I looked over and my wife was absolutely *sobbing* -- granted, the woman had just given birth six days earlier, but still...what a great, great song.

The Faith No More video for this is amazing and reminds you what a great song it is.
