Song Titles Game - Part II

This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

Good one- History I actually like the Paul Young remake.

The bass playing by Pino Palladino in the song always gives me chills.

When My Sugar Walks Down The Street - Ella Fitzgerald.

I share your liking of the Paul Young version, Christopher. He's turns the song into a lament.
I seem to recall EC telling the story of playing the newly recorded Everyday I Write The Book to Paul Young saying something like: 'I've recorded a soul tune'.
