Okay, so apparently I meant "What's So Funny...", and *not* "We Gotta Get
Out Of This Place."  [though I could swear I had a live recording of him
covering this somewhere.  However, since I can't find it I'm gonna say it
was all in my mind.]  Sorry for my senility.

Anyway, my original statement definitely holds true with "What's So
Funny...", as I'm sure everyone here will agree!  Midnight Oil just rocks
that song.

:o)

One of my fav songs is "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place", love the 
original Animals version, and the Angels and Oils versions but I'm not 
familiar with the Costello one, what album can I find it on?

I have said many, many times to those around me that Midnight Oil did 
"We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place" better than Elvis Costello did, 
and I really think that. Here are some songs I can hear them singing 
everytime I hear it by the original artist.
