Sure, it's possible to hear this and be surprised (and perhaps disappointed) because of Brian's reputation. But if you listen with childlike wonder and an open heart with no pre-conceived notions and keep in mind this is one of the first things he released as a solo artist, it's filled with such charming innocence and naiveté, it's absolutely magic. To me, this is one of the sweetest, most playful versions of this song. When I want deep, I'll go to one of his other tracks; when I'm feeling low, I want this one.

I completely agree. Not sure why everyone's pissed about this, I hear nothing wrong with it.
One of Enos loves was doo wop groups as was Lou Reed
This is excellent thats why Oor Brian always caught people off guard 💂♀️ and still does
This is excellent ! Brian Eno is always somewhere .....where no one expects him.....This cover version's a real nugget :-)
It blows your mind even more when you remember this was the guy who created the Windows 95 startup sound.
Never knew Eno covered this. Makes total sense that he would.
As you can see, it was even a single!
i love you brian, you magnificently weird person.
Excellent version of this song ! Thanks for the post !!
Why does this only have a few thousand views!!?
Popular Eno :).
Yes I'm still here....
kind of reminded me on Another Green World's sound
Nice.
So why wasn't this number one?
I'm pretty sure this was made with his tongue firmly in cheek.
When Eno touches rubbish, he turns it into gold. Sadly, when he touches gold ....
thalassocracy oh, i like it
Eno totally murdered this.
NICE VERSION COVER FROM THE TOKENS
And it was also a cover of Solomon Linda, its South African author. But this was the most popular in America
Even I have it was before your time. A wing a wep awinge a wep
This is the original
"Mbube" is the original, Salomon Linda is the autor, african composer.
What was the poor man thinking.
