- According to Jim Napier:
-
- * I was just listening to the radio in the coffee shop on campus and they
- * were playing a remake of Buffalo Springfield's big mid-60s hit "For What It's
- * Worth". Normally I would consider this sacrilege but this new version was
- * quite good. It had a slightly more shuffling beat than the original. Whoever
- * this band was managed to give the song a new feel while maintaining the mood
- * of the original. Anyone know who the band is? No one in the coffee shop could
- * identify them.

- I'm not 100% sure, but I think the band who covered the track
- is The Candy Skins. The single came out about two years ago,
- and I remember there was a little controversy about the song
- at that time, because they had used a sample of Mick Jagger's
- scream from the beginning of "Sympathy For The Devil" without
- permission, due to which Rolling Stones sued the band and the sample
- had to be removed from the song (it was replaced with a similar-sounding
- but non-identifiable shout).
