Jane’s Addiction “Been Caught Stealing” 1990. Today, March 29th, is Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell’s 60th birthday (b. Peretz Bernstein, 1959). “Been Caught Stealing” is one of the best ass-shaking singles of the 90′s (and brings back memories of many, many parties in college); it hit #1 on the US Modern Rock chart and its hilarious video is ranked in the top 100 of greatest videos (by VH1). The 12″ single has two versions of the track. The 12″ Remix Version, which was remixed by Perry Farrell, delays the dog barking intro on the Album Version which appears on Ritual de lo Habitual (from Wiki: according to Farrell that was his dog Annie, “I’d got her from a dog shelter and she was quite needy, so I brought her down to the studio that day rather than leave her at home… I’m singing in the booth with the headphones on and Annie gets all excited and starts going, ‘Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!’… The fact that she ended up on the track was just pure coincidence.“) It’s also got a lot of jangle guitar, which I love but is a little weird coming from alt-metal giants Jane’s Addiction. The other track on this 12″ is the demo version of “Had a Dad;” the regular version appears on Jane’s Addiction amazing 1988 album Nothing’s Shocking. The Demo Version was recorded and produced in ‘86 at Radio Tokyo. Supposedly there is a video for the track made by a French TV station that uses the demo version but I can’t find it.
