Eric Clapton: Layla (1970)<\/b>

As this video from 1983 shows, “Layla” wasn’t always an introspective song<\/a>. I’d never heard this version before. It’s quite the lineup, what with Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and Andy Fairweather Low on guitars.<\/p>\n

The Police: Don’t Stand So Close to Me ’86 (1986)<\/b>

Oh, man. Oh, man. YouTube doesn’t have the original studio music video that The Police made for this song in 1980, so you get the 1986 version with the slower chorus and the computer graphics and the floating instruments a la the 1987 video for Rush’s “Time Stand Still”<\/a>.
