#17 is Al Green's "Take Me To The River", probably the Talking Heads cover but could be any of several other versions.

It is the Talking Heads version, huzzah!

[mmcirvin]

Though that actually doesn't narrow it down much, since the Talking Heads themselves performed several radically different versions of the song in concert, in addition to the studio version.

Yuh, strooth; it's the one from The Name of This Band is Talking Heads. (I cheated a bit by not using the backup singers' lines, since they include the title, even though they were put up front in this version.)

I was going to object that there are two versions of the song even on the expanded "The Name of This Band is Talking Heads", but I see that actually there are not. (I get confused because I've got that and "Stop Making Sense" glommed into one big playlist in iTunes.)

I just realised that I also have the Eurythmics cover, which I had forgotten all about. If Songbird was more usable, or if I didn't dislike itunes... these things would be easier.
