The Rolling Stones verzus Avengers.
Anglická hudobná skupina The Rolling Stones vydala v roku 1966 album Aftermath. Album vyšiel najprv v Spojenom kráľovstve. V Spojených štátoch amerických vyšla skrátená, a v podstate mierne odlišná verzia albumu. A práve na tom americkom albume sa ako prvá v poradí nachádza pesnička s názvom Paint It, Black. Pesničku spieva Mick Jagger. Na albume, ktorý vyšiel v Spojenom kráľovstve, sa pesnička Paint It, Black nenachádza.
Americká punk rocková skupina Avengers vydala v roku 1983 vinylový album LP Avengers, kde na druhej strane albumu (B strane) je 1. v poradí skladba Paint It Black.
Ktorá verzia je lepšia? Od The Rolling Stones alebo od Avengers, kde pesničku spieva Penelope Houstonová?

Text:
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts
It’s not easy facin‘ up when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin‘ sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin‘ comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I wanna see your face, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun flying high in the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!
