Results of last week’s battle: Who did it better? Tim Curry or Jonathan Coulton?

In the third of four Beatles editions of Who Did It Better, we’ll look at George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, and two versions that I’d even have a hard time deciding between. First up is an acoustic instrumental version by ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro, followed by a dreamy, wispy version by Damon & Naomi.
