| Jimmy Fallon, dressed as Tom Petty, joins Stevie Nicks in re-creating the "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" video. |
It's ominious and dark and dramatic and cynical, with it's minor chords and full throttle, echoing tone. Every time it comes on the radio when I'm driving around, I blast the sound as high as it will go and sing along.
I like the complicated relationship the lyrics describe, a relationship that's not exactly love, but tired, world weary duty:
"People running 'round loose in the world
Ain't got nothin' better to do
Than make a meal of some bright eyed kid
You need someone looking after you."
The original music video for the awesome song is no great shakes. Just Petty and his band, the Heartbreakers, and Nicks in the studio singing. But it's such a great song the video is fine.
This week, Jimmy Fallon, who often does this sort of thing, re-created that video by dressing up as Tom Petty and joining the real Stevie Nicks for another round of "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around"
And I do like the original video and version of the song better than Fallon/Nicks, this is still a treat.
Below, the first video you'll see is that Fallon/Nicks re-creation, followed by the original video. Whatever you think of this all, you know I'll be singing the song in my head all day.
