MP3 Eddie Hazel / I Want You (She's So Heavy) [Beatles cover, 2004]
Who thought it could get any more indulgent? The original—after layer upon layer of creamy guitar—clocks in at nearly 8 minutes; this version takes that cake plus two more. The parenthetical is slang, of course (unlike in the Smiths's "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others" and U2's "Big Girls Are Best"), but shoot me in the back in front of the Dakota if this cover doesn't sound like She's been packing away chocolate mousse and eggs Benedict with sides of whip-cream and butter. Like breakfast at the Madonna Inn.
(Yes, funky sounds do always coax mediocre food comparisons out of me. And, yes, that makes me a bad person.)

Thanks for the mp3 link, Jeremy. My favourite Beatles song (despite the unfortunate Yoko input)...and I would have gone with a successfully executed chocolate souffle.
