Got My Mind Set on You by George Harrison – ***

First released: 1987

A BIG hit single from George from "Cloud Nine" that either you love or hate, and the last to date to make it all the way to #1, much to Paul’s chagrin. It is certainly catchy. Originally by Rudy Clark, George punched it up with a strong beat. I actually prefer the Weird Al cover parody "This Song’s Just Six Words Long". Of course it was also on "Best of Dark Horse 1976-1989" and 2009’s "Let it Roll – Songs by George Harrison". There was also a 12” extended version, but it just features more drum beats. Nothing too exciting. Also performed on George Harrison’s "Live in Japan" album and tour in 1991.
