Primal Scream's Ivy Ivy Ivy has been getting stuck in my head the past couple of days (ever since I put on Higher Than The Sun [A Dub Symphony In Two Parts] again to hear Jah Wobble's bassline). It is arguably my favourite thing by Primal Scream, a great rock n roll song. Lead-off track on their self-titled second album, which I don't think was ever released in America. I found it on holiday in the UK in 1998/99.

"So Sad About Us"...
"So Sad About Us" has been stuck in my head lately, such a perfect little pop gem, using that riff for maximum Pop impact. Written by Pete Townshend allegedly for The Merseys, Townshend's own version of it appeared on The Who's A Quick One While He's Away the same year. The Breeders' version is one of my favourites, and how I first heard the song, on their 1992 Safari EP (the only Breeders release to feature both Kelley Deal and Tanya Donelly).
And live on Letterman:
The original Who version:
The Who live at The Marquee 1967:
The Jam version:
A slow, chimey Primal Scream version (1987 b-side):
A very good version by Shaun Cassidy:
And The Merseys version:
