If that's the version of "One" I'm familiar with, it's truly appalling. Mike Mills needs to pick a key.

Even if I sent them in anonymously I think you could spot which ones were mine.

Posted by: Lance Anderson at April 11, 2005 4:37 PMIf that's the version of "One" that I'm familiar with, it's from the 1992 MTV Inaugural Ball -- hosted by Dennis Miller when he was still a loud-mouthed liberal and not the loud-mouthed Bush supporter he is today.
I had the whole show on a VHS tape and I think I recorded the audio onto a cassette tape, too. It's been ages since I dove into my box of cassettes so I don't know if it's still there.
I don't remember that version of "One" being so awful. However, that same show had 10,000 Maniacs -- still with Natalie Merchant -- performing "To Sir, With Love" with some help from Michael Stipe. Can you track that one down, Brian?
