Great call all the Nazi interpretation! It all fits...

Musically speaking I love Rick Derringer's blues solo over what is a modified 12-bar blues full of chord substitutions. Very subtle and nifty...

My Opinion

I've heard the Nazi interpretation before and while it fits, I don't like it. I much prefer the jazz interpretation. Given that these guys were really into jazz and that the song is very jazzy, this is the interpretation that "feels" right to me.
