Remakes

A new recording of this song was included on Young's 1982 album ''Trans'' in a much more synth-electric style to the original. The popularity of this version is mixed with fans, with many failing to appreciate Young's use of the Vocoder. Young's fascination with the Vocoder stemmed from his attempts to better communicate with his autistic son.
Of all of Young's songs, this one was released the most times: on the original album, ''Retrospective'', ''Journey Through the Past'', ''Decade'', the aforementioned "remix" on ''Trans'', an acoustic live version on ''Unplugged'' and an electric live version on ''Year of the Horse''.
