Hey, a vote! That just made my week.
This pales next to the KC version with Belew and Fripp.
From '81

Fripp is absolutely automatic on the guitar. I had waffled over posting that version, too.
In an interview, Levin said he was asked once how he could so easily play that funky bass line - others had tried it, and it was a bear. He sheepishly replied that he tuned one of the strings down so it wasn't a problem.
I had a tough time with the vocals.
And I was ready for it to be over with at 2:47, not 5:47.
Now to listen to Bootsy's rebuttal.
