Silly song, but Pickett brings serious musical talent to it and infuses it with soul gravitas. I think this is the first time I've ever heard the words of the verses, having tuned them out completely when listening to the Archies' version. Pickett's voice is just an amazing instrument, and the horns and organ provide extra muscle. A candy-coated pig's ear turned into a velvet purse.
