was reading Bri's soapbox stuff about this, and was shocked to discover there is a straight version
what does he mean by straight? because the two versions i've heard are both extra camp
1. has the line "my little dog ain't too hungry - he just kept on barking - viscious"
2. "i caught a train to georgia, sixteen coaches long"
but both are full of campness - comments like - viscious, oh tantrumts, coming on strong
did Bri when he said "styraight" refer to a "loyal reproduction of the original? - or was he actaully referring to the campness of the arrangement?

I think "straight" refers to the vocal performance itself. The officially released version has a nearly parodistic, high camp vocal track whereas the BBC version and the live versions are rougher, more blues-based.
