For another Leonard Cohen reference, perhaps a portion of “Coming Back to You” applies: _Even in your arms I know I’ll never get it right Even when you bend to give me Comfort in the night_ ---

> [@DChord568](#): > > In any case, there are two takes of “Shave 'em Dry.” The one that was released on 78 is bawdy, but not nearly as explicit as the alternate take. It’s highly unlikely that the alternate take would have been released commercially in any form at the time of its recording. > [@Biffy\_the\_Elephant\_Shrew](#): > > It certainly was. I had (and still have) it on an LP titled _Copulatin’ Blues_. Although there is no date on the LP itself, Google says it was released in 1976. Well, note that I said “at the time of its recording” (which was 1935). But you’re right that the very first issue of the alternate take of “Shave 'em Dry” was on the LP you referenced, and it was released in 1976. So it is possible that The Stones could have copped the line “you make a dead man come” from it. ---

I thought Janis Joplin’s “Down on Me” was, but now I’m not so sure. “Chewing Gum” by Norwegian pop singer Annie has to be one. ---
