  I have been saying that for years... ever since the first time I ever heard it.  Definitely their worst song by far.... followed closely by QuestionMark.

  \'no glove\' - a short song with a little humor (which belongs in music) and novelty
  \'gypsy girl\'-  horrible chorus and a poor attempt at headiness

• I definitely lump Glove in the same category with Beef and Phaddy.  I don\'t know what category that is, but they\'re all very similar.  Tough to like or dislike one without feeling the same about the other two.  Difference with Glove is that it is not overplayed.

• Ive seen some sick barley jams.  sick i tell you....
  glove should have remained an instrumental piece....
  phaddy boom is a pretty sweet anthem if you ask me....
  
  and as far as gypsy girl goes,   maybe you aren\'t heady enough to dig it \'rooney  :hscratch:
  
  though the instrumental gypsy gir that timmy did at cliffahans a few weeks back was pretty heady in my opinon brah :lollol:

• to me puppetry is almost as good as it gets...ep2 is as good as it gets..all the new songs are up there too.gypsy girl and vera street belong in the same category.not necessarily a bad category either.i prefer a more rockin kinda tune.puppetry just brings me back to a much simpler time!

• Except for their both being pretty mellow, I don\'t think it\'s fair to group Vera St with Gypsy Girl..... Vera St is SOOOOO much a better, more mature song....

• Have been thinking of putting together a PB covers collection for a while.
  
  I have been through this thread and created a composite list. I have some some other suggestions I\'ve added, but if this is the final word (which of course, now, it won\'t be ) I might start working on it.
  
  Most frequently praised covers at top of list.
  
  And the board\'s undisputed fave cover is....
  
  Echidna\'s Arf (Of You) (FIVE TIMES!! Also 2 for ANY Zappa)
  
  3x:
  Hush
  
  2x:
  Sir Psycho Sexy
  Legend of a Mind
  Needle and the Damage Done
  Peace Frog
  
  1x:
  Earache My Eye
  No Quarter
  China Cat Sunflower
  Rockin\' in the Free World
  Fire
  Peaches en Regalia
  memory of a free festival
  night of thumpasorus peoples
  mommy whats a funkadelic
  Inca Roads (if it\'s ever played)
  Eat That Phone Book Coda
  Suzie Q
  Wharf Rat
  Space Oddity
  In the Flesh
  Any P Funk covers
  Chameleon
  Other One
  Help!>Slipknot
  One Big Mob
  Shakedown Street
  Flower Punk
  King Kong
  
  Added by me:
  
  Karn Evil
  Lady Madonna
  Message In A Bottle
  
  Please feel free to add further comments, eg the "best" version of a cover. Though it\'s really the result of our collective favourites, I\'m doing this for me, but if it turns out OK, I will BT it - that is if Tim and the boys won\'t mind (Will have to email if I decide to share it.)
