Cracker - - It ain't gonna suck itself
LINK
I say baby, it ain't gonna suck itself
Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
I say baby, it ain't gonna suck itself
What 'chew waiting for? it ain't gonna suck itself
Well I flew out from Virginie on the very first day
I heard my record company exercise my pay to play
Went to see Mr. Lott but his assistant said no
"Security will escort you to the parking lot"
It was 102 degrees I was feeling kind of hot
So I walked across the street for one of those Mexican frozen popsicles
Couldn't buy just one so I bought myself a box
When I come back the assistant she's standing in the parking lot
No hard feelings do you want one of these?
But she looks at me like I was speaking Chinese
The security man walks up he helps himself to one
Coincidently Chinese and hot from standing in the sun
Then he helps himself to another he puts it in her hand
But she looks at it like it was a piece of crap
Or a dead and dying bird she didn't understand
So I was just trying to be helpful when I said...
Baby, it ain't gonna suck itself
Oh Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
I beg to differ cousin, it should be, it ain't gonna lick itself
Ok we'll try it that way It ain't gonna lick itself
Well I'm standing in the parking lot waiting on my ride
His name is Jackson Haring and he's still inside
He went in through mailroom for some record company swag
But this Virgin Records there ain't shite to be had
And the halls they was empty because everyone was laid off
And he took a wrong turn ends up in the tape vault
Only one thing to do when you’re standing face to face
With the Sticky Fingers, Let It Be master tapes
You've got to stick them in the satchel and head on the down the hall
Saying these will go nicely with that Residents eyeball
Many years ago while working for Bill Graham Presents
A prop eyeball was stolen backstage from The Residents
And the rumor went around that Jackson was the thief
But that's neither here nor there and I was sitting in the jeep
Looking at the Sticky Fingers master tapes
My popsicle’s dripping on the seat so I throw it out the window
And it lands at the feet of Roy Lott
Hey Roy, it ain't gonna suck itself
Ah Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
And one time for the ladies, It ain't gonna lick itself
Ah Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
Baby, it ain't gonna suck itself
Everyone at Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself
One for the ladies, it ain't gonna lick itself
What 'chew waitin' for, it ain't gonna suck itself
Mr. Lott, it ain't gonna suck itself
Everyone on Foothill Road, it ain't gonna suck itself
Just so we're not totally sexist, it ain't gonna lick itself
Virgin Records, it ain't gonna suck itself

Callin Baton Rouge - Garth Brooks

Still In Love With You - Thin Lizzy. The version from the album Live And Dangerous, not the one from the video Live And Dangerous (which is what is on YouTube). Although the video version is much better too.

Live versions of songs usually suck arse. The singer changes shite. The sounds is wrong, etc etc. OTOH, Iron and Wine changed the songs for the better. His vocals were too hidden and weak in most of the studio versions. In concert, he seemed to have come out of a shell. The ACL show was just fantastic.

The music you hear was performed in a live setting.
A whole lot of "studio" albums are recorded in a "live setting." Also, a lot of "live" albums have been overdubbed in a studio.

Freebird live is one of the best ever
Freebird Live 13 minutes of greatness
Gimme 3 Steps
Bring all my mules out here and kick em one time

Any song by any band/musician worth their salt. If they are a legitimately good band they will feed off the crowd and be better live.
A musician isn't worth a damn if hes only good when he has the benefit of infinite takes and studio effects.
This is nonsense on multiple levels.
The song may be better live if you are actually there to hear it. But live recordings rarely sound as good as the studio version. It shouldn't take a rocket scientist (or acoustics engineer) to figure out why.

Does MTV Unplugged count as a live version? It's certainly a live performance, but it's basically in a studio.
Anyway, I'll go with it:
The following two songs performed on unplugged:
Nirvana -- All Apologies
Jay-Z -- H.O.V.A
And this live version of "Trani" by Kings of Leon, which is a song that was just meant to be played live imho.
Kings of Leon -- Trani (live)

Stones - Midnight Rambler ('73 Brussels)
Mick Taylor is the man
Stones - Angie
Zep - Sick Again
Simon & Garfunkel - American Tune
A Simon solo that sounds so much better with them both
Croce - These Dreams
Elvis - All Shook Up

Garth Brooks- I've Got Friends in Low Places & The Thunder Rolls. Both have an extra verse you don't hear on the radio which make them badass!
I've Got Friends in Low Places: Well I guess I was wrong I just don't belong but then I've been there before everything's alright I'll just say goodnight and I'll show myself to the door hey, I didn't mean to cause a big scene just wait till I finish this glass and sweet little lady I'll head back to the bar
GIVE IT TO ME and you can kiss my arse!
The Thunder Rolls: She runs back down the hallway through the bedroom door reaches for the pistol kept in the dresser drawer tells the lady in the mirror he won't do this again because tonight will the last time she'll wonder where he's been.
