Now that this is another MacColl thread...

Perhaps the most unusual reconfiguration has come from Seeger herself, who in 2012, aged 77,
recorded it alongside the electronic producer Broadcaster. MacColl’s melody was all but dispensed with,
Seeger’s voice was fed through a vocoder and the song was set against a Gary Numan-esque synth groove.
Asked what her late ex-husband would have thought of it, Seeger replied,
“Well, the Ewan of the Seventies would have thrown it in the fire.
But the Ewan of the Eighties was coming to terms with a lot of things?.?.?.
I think he would have been very interested in it.”
