Another Saturday Night - Cat Stevens - Single - 1974

While Sam Cooke's original ached with the loneliness (or horniness, depending on how you read it) of a man in a strange place with no company, Cat Stevens makes the odd choice of making the song sound like it is taking place in a Mexican cantina. There is something sort of disingenous about hearing the phrase "I'm in an awful way" song over and over to the sound of a mariachi trumpet.
