Best Version of Astronomy

I've spent the last couple of hours listening to various different versions of the song 'Astronomy' originally by Blue Oyster Cult, and I'm trying to decide which one I like best. The only conclusion I've come to is that I like different parts of all of them best, so here's a list of all the different elements I would put together to make my own ultimate version of Astronomy:
Original piano intro
For some reason, I'd really like to hear Roy Khan do the vocals
Simone Simons doing background vocals in the style of the Imaginos version
Metallica's guitar work in the middle
Original 'hey's
Imaginos background synths after 'In hellish glare and inference..."
Original "Or the light that never warms..."
Metallica guitar/original flute riff duo after that part, but with a real flute instead of a synth
Imaginos guitar doodle in the background
Original "And then came me."
Imaginos "Call me Desdinova..."
Break down after "And don't forget my dog..." from Some Enchanted Evening
Ending done in the original style, but with Simone doing pseudo-operatic stuff alongside Roy
Original howling wind sound to finish
I think that combines all my favourite elements of that song and my favourite elements of music in general.
