PLEASE HELP CHOOSE the "Best Video Version Ever" of THIS well-known Rolling Stones song from "Exile on Main Street"!

The Rolling Stones are re-re-releasing (no, I'm not stuttering, this is the 2nd time they've re-released) their classic double album from 1972. And, in what should be an interesting promotional push, NBC and Jimmy Fallon are having a week-long cover extravaganza. Green Day (Monday), Keith Urban (Tuesday), Sheryl Crow (Wednesday), and Phish (Thursday) will be participating. On Friday, I believe they will have the Stones themselves (or some subset). Fallon has also said that they will be having a lot of special guests sitting in with the band this week.

So, this provides a great peg for this latest "Best Video Version Ever" "contest". YouTube has plenty of videos of the biggest hit from this well-loved album, "TUMBLING DICE". Here's one to get us, ahem, rolling:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpctim6CvuM (live, 1990, not necessarily the best)

Now, it is YOUR TURN!
(1) POST a video of the song that you think qualifies as the best ever. It could be a Stones' version, a well-known cover, a mash-up, a 3 yr old with large lips, etc. And, feel free to explain your thoughts/feelings/etc about it.
(2) VOTE for other versions posted - the video with the highest vote total will be chosen as "The Bests Video Version Ever" (though the others will also be spotlighted)
(3) SPREAD THE WORD about this contest - by voting this "question" as "interesting", by Tweeting it, by telling your friends to come vote for your entry, etc.

By the way, the original of this song is one of the rare ones where Mick plays guitar alongside Keith.

*****
"BEST VIDEO VERSION EVER" is a regular contest on Mahalo. Winners and other selected nominees will be featured on Mahalo and also on our channel at You Tube. Check it out! BVVE will attempt to feature songs from different genres, different eras, different artists. If you have an idea for a song that would be ideal for BVVE - or have other feedback - please DQ me @doubleminaz! Thanks--mm

Lyrics:
Women think I'm tasty, but they always try to waste me,
Make me burn the candle right now
But baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown

'Cause all you women is low down gamblers
Cheatin' like I don't know how
But baby, baby, there's fever in the funk house now

This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin'
Don't you know that deuces stay wild
Baby, I can't stay

You got to roll me
And call me the tumblin' dice

Always in a hurry, you never stop to worry
Don't see the time flashin' by
Honey, got no money
I'm all sixes and sevens and nines

Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsiser
You can be my partner in crime
But baby, I can't stay

You got to roll me
And call me the tumblin' dice

Oh, my, my, my, I'm the lone crap shooter
Playing the field every night

Baby, I can't stay

You got to roll me
And call me the tumblin'
Roll me
And call me the tumblin'
Got to roll me, got to roll me

It's so hard to sing a Stones song without trying to sound like Mick, and why not, he's the best. But in a cover song, I like a choice that is good instrumentally sound and vocally somewhat unique. Jill Johnson and Kim Carnes do as good a job as any I've heard on this one. The vocals are bluesy and soulful, the harmonies make a traditionally solo number into a duet, and the gradual slowing down at the end gives the number a logical ending place. Many of the versions of this song seem choppy throughout and then end abruptly. this is my choice for a complete rendition.

These are selections form the album Exile on the main street and not the song with the same name.
