And "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" was lifted from a Jorge Ben song. Rod Stewart = still crap
I attempted to DJ these two songs back to back a while ago. As far as I'm concerned, the version of 'Taj Mahal' I played was killer, but next time I'll play Rod first to get the people in the room,
then hit them with the original.
Edit: and I was thinking much more of the lyrical subject (which is far, far removed from Jorge Benjor's song) matched to the guitar tone, which strikes me as very close to 'Sexy'; whereas the 'Taj Mahal' rip off was really just about the chorus. When it comes to 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?' I'm all about the verses, and it's the same with this Feist song.
