Best version of 'Angel of the Morning'

My favourite version is the one that plays in my head, where the word “angel” is replaced with “asshole.”

Wonder why people suddenly got tired of this song 14 years ago

I voted for PP Arnold, based on listening to the versions by Merrilee Rush, Juice Newton, Arnold, and Nina Simone back-to-back last night.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

The shy Shaggy vote nearly won the day.

Pre-vote polling oversampled boomers, everyone underestimated the mighty Shaggy voter.

It wasn’t me.

EXCELSIOR worthy, if I say so myself

mmhm that shaggy tune was a jam

i remember being in a high school summer program in... 2007? one girl in the program from greece was riding with a few of us in someone's car and ended up playing the shaggy song at random (maybe on shuffle). i don't think she had heard it before but she instantly adored it and would hijack the ipod and put it on repeat every time she rode in the car with us thereafter. i think most ppl were somewhat annoyed but i thought it was amusing and didn't mind
