The most recent episode of the Sopranos used this Kinks song in the end credits, but it's not the original version. Where can I find the remake?

Chocolate Watchband did a wonderful wonderful cover of it.

Yes, but this was an older version of the Kinks. Or at least Ray Davies.

oh.

the Wolfhounds covered it on a Kinks tribute album around 89

Yes, and Camper Van Beethoven. But it's definitely Ray Davies singing.
Surely some Kinks kultist out there knows the answer.

there was a cover by Boss Hogg on the SubUrbia soundtrack (a memory surely jogged by all the 90's OST talk on strongo's Crow thread).

no, no, no. It's on the second disc of To The Bone, that double CD that came out a few years ago that featured a lot of live Kinks tracks.

ah yes, the croaky-voiced, mid-'90s kinks, pretending to be the knitters.

the Finchley Boys covered it too!

... and the Chesterfield Kings.

this version sucked! I wish it had been the original.

I thought the version they used (no idea where it's from) was more fitting for the scene than the original. It was more morose, and capped one of the most horrifying scenes in the show's run.

Speaking of the Sopranos and the Kinks, I was just enthusing on some other thread over the use of the 80s Kinks tune "Living On a Thin Line" in an episode from season 3, which I just rewatched last week. I had totally forgotten about that song, and it's pretty good. But it's use in the episode was expert (par for the course with the show, in other words.)
