Track 4.
Mr Jones – Counting Crows
Difficulty: Beginner
Why: Another great tune; I had a friend who would play this at every party he was at and it never got old.
Lyrics/Tab: here
Youtube: here (embedding disabled)
Converstation Starter: This was Counting Crows first radio hit. Came in at number 27 in the VH1 Top 100 songs of the 90’s.
The band members, when playing the songs live, change some of the lyrics. “We all wanna be big, big stars, but we got different reasons for that” becomes “We all wanna be big, big stars, but then we get second thoughts about that,” and “when everybody loves you, sometimes that’s just about as funky as you can be” became “when everybody loves you, sometimes that’s just about as fucked up as you can be.”
Covered By: Hidden In Plain View.
Soundtracked: a few tv shows, but no major movies (which surprises me!).
Comic Relief : An absolutely genius crossover of mr jones and indiana jones by these guys.

I don’t think there’s much in the pipeline as yet, since their double album in 2007. Hopefully soon though!!
