The version he did on KCRW is pretty neat. He says that it's the best driving song ever (or something like that) and actually makes a strong effort to duplicate that feel.
The version on the Take it Easy single, on the other hand, is just dumb. The music and the vocals don't really have anything to do with each other (yes, I'm aware that it's mostly car doors slamming), and any effect that one aspect of the song creates is destroyed by the other. Oh well, that's what B-sides are for.
