Egad, you're right! Moving it from a major to minor context makes it almost unrecognizable. Now I'm gonna have that stuck in my head all day, or until I take out the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash and put Cream in...

Someday, I gotta get you a copy of a bootleg I have of Hendrix playing Sunshine of your Love. It's the best live recording I have by any artist. It has a dead-on parody of Clapton's solo... not to mention some outright abuse of the audience.
