The soundtrack makes for a nice mixtape with a few missteps -- never been a fan of GNR and I get the feeling they wouldnt be on here had they not tossed in a couple bars of reggae in this song for no apparent reason.
Didn't Paul McCartney & Wings' original go into a reggae break at the same point? Paul always seemed to think he had a feel for and ability in reggae. Can't really agree on the strength of 'Ob La Di Ob La Da' or 'C Moon', and even when he somehow got Linda into a studio with Lee Perry the results are still poor - although I don't think Scratch had much to work with.
Oh yeah, you're right. Haven't heard the original in awhile. Agree on Paul -- always brilliant, but too cutesy for reggae.
