East Kilbride, Scotland shoegaze band The Jesus and Mary Chain recorded their version of the archetypal 1964 R&B classic "My Girl," originally by Motown vocal group The Temptations, in 1989.
The movie "My Girl," starring Macaulay Culkin and Anna Chlumsky, was released in 1991.
So, there's really no reason this was kept off of the soundtrack, because this gloomy version more closely mirrors the uber-depressing climax of the film.
Never thought about it before, but the song's lyric "I have so much honey, the bees envy me" seems like a cruel joke when considering the fate of Culkin's character.
