This is a subset of Everything About Lynyrd Skynyrd Is Awful
They're incessantly played on rock radio, and every time a Skynyrd song comes up, all I can think about is how much I'd rather be listening to Molly Hatchet or Mountain
I like the version on Clapton Comes Alive the best

Wait, "I'm begging darlin' please?"? Isn't that the line?

Nah, let's keep the theme of "songs my Dad listens to a bunch" and make it about 3 Dog Night.

Technically the answer is the regular version, but not the one actually on the first album release, but on One More Car, One More Rider

One of my favorite things about 3 Dog Night was the DirkDiggler mIRC bot that someone kept in one of the PA IRC channels.
If you said !One it would start quoting "One is the loneliest number." If you said !Two it would continue it. If you said !Three it would mock you for not knowing the lyrics.

this version is actually the best because you see Clapton trying to make a good solo work but can't because he doesn't know how, Jeff Beck trying to be angry but can't because of social decorum, and Jimmy Page doing whatever because they probably didn't plug him in, otherwise he'd be sticky fingering up and down the fretboard for hours.
then there's Charlie Watts, looking all derisively at them, probably because he's not playing jazz

The unplugged version doesn't fit with what the song is about at all. The lyrics should be "Layla, you've got me a sensible sweater for my birthday."
Also I mean come on
The outro doesn't count

Eric Clapton is blues by way of a sensible sweater wearing white man
the unplugged version shows a certain truth

See also Hotel California
although it might be more correct to say that I saw the remaining two fifths of lynyrd skynyrd live once
Layla, you've got me on my knees
Layla, something something cheese
or whatever. That's how I hear the punctuation.
That's the regular version with a full minute fucking intro

More because of Sports Night, though.

but they're listening to every word I say
This seems like a good thing.
Gabriela is WAY better than Rodrigo.
Tube, what do mean when you say Clapton was a lazy guitar player? I thought he got the nickname "God" because he was ridiculously talented.

He hasn't really shown up to work in about 30 years. He may as well do most of his shows over the phone. He is very talented though.
I think it was Pete Townsend who said that Clapton wishes desperately that he were as good as Hendrix was
and I can't help but wonder if Hendrix dying just removed his only goal
I've done some research, and I've found out that the root chakra is my taint.
Literally only good if you are watching Goodfellas
