I believe this version was played by Melissa's band, and her guitar player has a rather tasty Tele tone working throughout the number. I'm not sure who that guitarist is, by the way, so if anyone does know, please be sure to post it.
I stumbled across this .mp3 on Napster some time ago (pre-lawsuit days), and I'm assuming you can you figure out the rest. I'm not certain if there are any "official" versions of this song released, but I'm sure you could track one down with simple Google search - if you had a burning desire to hear it.
And yeah - one more thing . . . . more cowbell - - - please!
