What Difference Does It Make?

I remember in 1995, sloshing and sploshing around in some body of water drunk at the Heineken Music Festival in Leeds, somebody played that classic on a ghetto blaster. And It was the first time I recognised how much like the bagpipes the start is. No idea how I missed it before, given the band's Irish heritage. Shrug.

 
Amazing song. Am I alone in not preferring the Peel version, though?
 
Any version of that song is great to me, one of my faves. Recall Moz saying he didn't like it, even five minutes after it came out. I think it might have made him slightly squeamish in its subject matter, i.e. he hits on a straight pal of his and gets knocked back, devastating him (in my own interpretation, anyway). Who knows.
