Easy

~ Recording by Faith No More

Annotation

This version has a spoken “Turn the lights out, baby; this one’s for the ladies in the house!” over the first two bars of the piano melody. It also omits the synth trumpet and strings that are present in the other version.
The other version seems to have vanished? Its definitely a different mix
