As their are differing opinions as to what constitutes "more famous", you must use your own criteria.

I cast my vote for The Capitols because most people I spend time with know that version.

How come Human Sexual Response's version is missing? They're who I think of when I think Cool Jerk. I ain't voting if they're not included! :twisted:

Federico,

Sorry, no slight intended. I think if I add them the entire poll resets and we lose previous votes. Perhaps Linda or one of the mods knows how to do it. Otherwise, we'll add that version as a write-in.
Just goes to show ya', famous means different things to different people, although some may say that version qualifies more as infamous.

Both versions are good, but I lean towards the Go-Go's, cause they're easy on the eyes. :D

I was kidding - I think that was only a famous version on my block of Commonwealth Avenue. Should have posted a smiley.

I went Go-Go's because I've heard that many more times than the Capitols.

I'd say the Capitols - never even heard of the Go-Go's version, but then again I only know their biggest hits.

Well, I'm totally amazed that my opinion about "Cool Jerk" by the Go-Go's sparked a poll. Never realized that so many were than passionate about music on the internet.

Still, it's only a difference of opinion. It really doesn't bother me if everyone here disagrees with my feelings about songs I love.

I went to an elementary school during the 1970s where all the other kids hated the Beatles. I have such strength.

The first place I ever heard "Cool Jerk" was in the oldies medly on Todd Rundgren's "A Wizard, A True Star". So for me, that's the most famous version!
