Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter` video

Another video from 1988! The Bangles did a cover of Hazy Shade of Winter for the movie Less Than Zero. This song, written by Paul Simon, was originally recorded by Simon and Garfunkel in 1967. No offense to S & G, but I prefer The Bangles cover to this song. It has a more edgy feel to it and it reached to No. 2 on Billboards Hot 100 List. However, the Simon & Garfunkel version had one thing over the Bangles; they were able to include the lyrics: Ahhh, seasons change with the scenery Weaving time in a tapestry Wont you stop and remember me At any convenient time Funny how my memory slips while looking over manuscripts Of unpublished rhyme Drinking my vodka and lime On the Bangles cover, the record label record requested to omit that portion of the verse.
