I love the faux-cheese factor on the song. A lot of brave choices, production-wise, especially that Eno-inspired rubber bass line.
You know, Cash was still a year away from his revitalization with Rick Rubin. They tapped him for Zooropa in just about the biggest slump of his entire career. That made it an even weirder choice. He was not hipster-approved in '93. Makes it even more cool in my book.
What would be an equivalent in '07? A total left field choice that somehow ended up being awesome.
