My verdict: Jenny Toomey wins.
The melancholy nature of this song deserves a mellow touch. The Mommyheads' whimsical guitar work is skilled, but does not offer a respectful backdrop. Instead of tossing the words out there and then having a jam session, Jenny Toomey holds the lyrics differently. Her voice emotes as though she both understands and empathizes.
