OMG please make it stop

I got so excited when I heard that familiar wacky beat. Then I heard Fran Dresher singing it and got upset. Please play more of the ORIGINAL 'Caught Stealing' when Perry didn't have Sinusitus.

I'm dancing! I'm dancing!!!

It's the person who told this guy he could sing, that's really to blame.

I just brought it down to 4.1 :-&

I was just working and grooving to this. When I clicked in to see who it was and what status the great mass of us at RP has alloted it, I was blown away at it hitting only 4.2 ===> this is as low as anything ever on RP. It can't really be that bad, now can it. In fact, it's quite good, isn't it. The people who like it are too busy dancing to rate it!

i'm a huge fan of most anything Jane's Addiction and Perry Farrel have ever recorded... but i would so much rather hear anything from any of their other albums than this. sounds like Perry had a headcold the day they recorded this take. how about something off of their first (live) self-titled album?

Call me crazy, but I thought it Rocked! ____ me dry & call me dusty!

Love JA, but this take blows (but that's just me)

Still an annoying band, still an annoying song, more "The Mars Volta" please; at least I like it, even if the lyrics are only technically in English.

Reminds that the appeal of Jane's Addiction was never Perry Farrell's abilty to "sing." To me it's more about how Dave Navarro seems congenitally incapable of bad tone.

the ritual version puts you right in the store with your pockets full, but i'll take jane's any way i can get -- keep 'em coming bill

I dunno ... I think the song styling was wrong for the new voice. Been looking around the Web for who the singer is, haven't found it. Perry with a cold? For that voice, I think an acoustical, Great Smokies versions would have worked better. Let's hear it again so I can decide. No rating yet. - quaid

when this started, i thought some kid had hacked into the RP stream and was doing kereoke on the songs... this is just horrible... the energy of the vocals on the ... oh god what should i call it... non-alternate version of this matched energy of the instrumentals much better.

How stoned was Perry? Great song, horrible performance. Sounds like Primus is doing half of it.

Some takes are best left in the studio.

Not the version I prefer. But it's cool to hear JA here.

Is this song's artist correctly listed?

Stick to the original
