Thanks for this, as always, thoughtful and interesting. Its really about the opening phrase isn't it. In my head there's a slightly slower version that returns back to that melody more often, and lingers. Probably just in my head though.

I like the Viscounts version, mellow but still sleazy.

Thanks Geoffrey! Well, there is a reason the Viscounts' version is the one stuck in our heads. Sleazy is a great word for it!

I love these musical deep dives, which educate me and entertain me at the same time.
