Sal- Speedy West also did a version of Caravan for Capitol Records but Les Paul was a heavy hitter at Capitol at the time and felt that it out-smoked his version so they nixed it. But yeah, any version. Corona, right on. And how did I forget Moisture by the Residents?

The Pogues – Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
The Gripweeds – Rainy Day #3
The Pearlfishers – We’re Gonna Save the Summer
Lynyrd Skynyrd – Gimme 3 Steps, Sweet Home Alabama
Big Audio Dynamite – Just Play Music
