One of my favoritest songs ever. I love both the original by Tommy James & The Shondells and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts' cover (which reminds me of the opening of one of The L Word episodes even though iirc the music used was the original and not the cover). I also have a cover by Tommy Roe and used to play all three versions over and over on loop.
Joan Jett ... So. Hawt.
'Crimson and clover' is also why I fell in love with Jarvis Cocker's 'Black Magic' on the very first listen.
There's just something addictive about this particular riff/chord pattern ... In the words of Duke Orsino in Twelfth Night:
If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die. (I.i.1-3)
