This is pretty cool, I like the strident vocal. The organ stabs are nice and the drums give it more of a sleazy edge than the original. I like the more 'angelic' sounding harmonies too.

I read an interview with Brian about this song in which he said that this was his 'tribute to the Stones' (that may have changed since) and I can kind of see what he means but I always wanted to do a cover of this myself and make it blatantly more Stones-ish, I might still do that one day.

Heard him say something similar about "Marcella"...

@Luther:
It has a different feel than the original. Like matt-zeus said, the backgroundvocs sound not as edgy as Brian's. But I'd put maybe some echo on the lead. All in all a nice job....

I couldn't change it now if I wanted to: it was done on an old computer and old software nearly a decade ago. Those multitracks are long since lost. I was just posting it because someone else posted his! But yeah, as usual when I do BW (or any other) covers, I didn't really work very hard at recreating anything. I just figure out the song and then do a version with no real intention of sounding the same or different ... I just do them. I do recall not using echo on the lead to make it contrast with the group vox, though.
