"It's not a tweed suit!" - MIKE BERRY, S2 E2 The Case Of The Tiny Suit/Case - ‘Meatballs at IKEA’, Who shat on the floor at my wedding? And other crimes #whoshat #MikeBerry
I took a looksie at the two other versions just now. The #MikeBerry version was ... okay, listenable. the #JohnHenryKurtz version I liked better because of the way he syncopated some of the words in the chorus, and the harmonies stood out better, nice and soulful country feel to it. But #DobieGrey's version is still the best. #DriftAway.
