The Meat Puppets did a cover that was included with a disc of Stones covers that came with an issue of Uncut a few years back. Loopy little version that captured the spirit of the song.
I like the tune myself. My introduction to it was on More Hot Rocks.
Don't really like it as the closer for Aftermath (UK). I grew up with/prefer having "Going Home" end the album. It's more....substantial. It was a breakthrough (if only in length) that brings a breakthrough album to a fitting conclusion.
What To Do has a sort of whimsey that kind of undermines everthing previous when it ends the record. (I usually like whimsey--I'm a NRBQ fan!!)
But yeah, a great song.
