The Original Demo For Semisonic's 'Closing Time' Sounds Like It's From A (Slightly) Different Dimension

​Semisonic's undeniable smash hit "Closing Time" turned 20 in March of this year, which makes this as good of a time as any to listen to the jam.

But why listen to the same old version you've heard a million times before when you can check out this rare demo the band posted on their YouTube page:

First unearthed on Stereogum, the music blog wrote that it is premiering this cut of the track in partnership with Semisonic to promote the reissue of the band's 1998 record, Feeling Strangely Fine. That comes out on October 19.

For the traditionalists out there, here's the original edit of "Closing Time":
