Baby Huey & The Babysitters do a killer version of it as well  It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

My favorite version is actually by Evelyn King, who recorded a more upbeat version of it on her 1985 album "A Long Time Coming". Dorothy: When Stan is depressed, he is the second most boring man on earth.
Rose: Who's the first? Dorothy: Stan when he's not depressed! | |

 The lyrics were slightly different too. The song became less gospel and more blues and it sounded like the end of a relationship rather than a social commentary. nWo (aka FUNK 3.0): bboy87 - timmy84 - muthafunka - littleBLUEcorvette - phunkdaddy - christopher

I thought Sananda/TTD did a killer job with it. | |

there are some good remakes of it, but to me none of them is as electrifying as sam's version. "one of us has got to pick the phone up!" | |
