I have several songs where I think they could have done better on the album version.

This includes a lot of Mink Car:

  • Bangs - Snapping Turtles had the more John-y lyrics in my opinion.
  • Man, It’s So Loud in Here - The first demo just had more soul, in my opinion. I get they were going for Pet Shop Boys pastiche/parody, but I really liked the general 80s vibes of the original demo.
  • My Man - There’s a demo that has some better compositional choices in my opinion.
  • Another First Kiss - I prefer the one from Severe Tire Damage by leaps and bounds.

Another addition is I like the Severe Tire Damage version of They Got Lost more than the Long Tall Weekend version.

    It’s a cover, but I prefer the version of New York City that describes the Empire State as where “King Kong lived.”

    Alphabet of Nations is one where I most enjoy the versions with more verses of county names.
