I think we've probably all heard some version of this song. Some of my Facebook friends got into a discussion a few months ago about whose version was the best. But it's a great song that adapts well to different vocalists' styles. Jeff Buckley performed it. Bon Jovi performed it.* Imogen Heap performed it.** Justin Timberlake performed it.*** Willie Nelson performed it.**** k.d. lang performed it.*****
I kept hearing the Wainwright version during the holiday season, which seems odd, because, in spite of the name, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Christmas really.
Do you have a favorite version? I'd love to hear about it in the comments.
Here it is.
* Badly.
** Barely.
*** Oddly.
**** Twangily.
***** in lower case.
