Prefer the Beatles version. I think all their covers were better than the originals. Can't say that about anyone else.

Mike Peters doing a solo live cover of Grandmaster Flash's The Message.
When he was on as the support act for Stiff Little Fingers.
Cue the old Viz Joke:
My wife phoned me at work to say the alarm had gone off.
"They haven't done anything decent since 68 Guns" she said.
