Not for nothing, this came out the day Atlanta lost Hank Aaron. Thanks Puddles.

Thanks for sharing!

So let me pay it forward with the original - live in front of 150,000.

We will never know if Michael Stipe forgot where the mic was at the end - but this is my favourite version :slight_smile:

How do you think he keeps that little crown attached? Probably glue, but on top of all that makeup/greasepaint?

I prefer the rendition by Father Ray Kelly, 2018 Britain’s Got Talent. on UTube 15million views! " methinks, 'tis that Irish touch; a wee bit of melancholy, that they exploit so well! As I totter toward my 86th year bloody but unbowed, I can certainly relate to the sympathies expressed and keep on, “keeping on” It has been worth the effort!!

he also took his earphones out, so maybe he wanted to hear the crowd.
