This is the original version, which appeared on the third "Girly-sound" cassette from ca. 1991. You can freely download it from http://girlysound.com/, where they cite Phair herself, the copyright owner, as granting permission for the free distribution of the songs.
Anyway, this version is a more surreal, even comedic, song, compared to the version on 1993's Exile in Guyville. One might say it presents a schizophrenic switch between the interestingly descriptive lyrics familiar from the later EIG version and the pyscho stewardess/cheerleader popping into this version to make odd suggestions.
All that said, IMO the song also succeeds on its own merits as enjoyable to listen to, as well as interesting.
