Random Tune Therapy for Tuesday 3/23/10

So sometimes the right one goes home. Instead of Lacey's troubled version of Ruby Tuesday from last week, I offer up Franco Battiato's version. Apparently, this Italian singer who is clearly speaking English as a second language, covered it for the Children of Men soundtrack. As to why the youtube video is of cows in a pasture (don't wait for a punch line, there isn't any ... just cows eating, walking, breathing, standing still ...), your guess is as good as mine! It's bovine performance art set to a Stones song? Why -- I have no idea. But it's the version of this song (even with the operatic interlude) that I'd rather remember instead of Lacey's attempt from last week's show.
