    Marvin's the man. You know it, I know it, Bob Dole know it, and the American people know it.

    Marvin's voice + great backup singers + wonderful strings= no contest...although this a capella version (which seems to be done for some tv show) is fanfuckingtastic:

    There's a reason I'm not a standup comedian. :p

    Ah, yes. I should have known. I was thinking he may have done a Karaoke rendition at outing before I joined the SportsJournalists.com Nation.

    Didn't Michael McDonald do a version of this song recently?

    That's definitely how I'd rate them.

    Beat me to it. I'm pretty sure that's Marvin's version, though.

    Always liked the CCR version, even if just to hear Fogerty say he "hoid it through the grapevine."
