Another year, another friend or foe

I always consider myself reasonably wise in the ways of tunes, and then I learn I know nothing. For example, I quite like Mission of Burma's Wounded World. Little did I know that this is a rerecording of the same song by No Man. It's not a cover as both bands featured Roger Miller, the song's writer. Check the video of the original version and then listen to the new version. I prefer the harsh irony of the newer vocals, but I am probably biased since I heard that one first.
