<< As for this being a three chord song- I guess you can do it that way-
but really it has these little minor chords thrown in, and the changes
are sometimes off the beat. >>
The one thing I've noticed about ALL of these BSN's is that there are little
things that distinguish almost all of them. Little interesting arrangements,
or instruments. I guess I'm the only one that was so moved by Orlando's
7-minute harp and vocal version. Lydia van Dam makes it her own as well,
too...truly an amazing thing to do with BSN!
And the WORST by far, even worser than Jim Nabors (Jimmy the birthday boy,
you're off the hook!), is this awful version by Kathryn Grayson. OMG, it's SO
bad it'll make you laugh out loud! She too botches the opening lyric by
saying, "furls and curls of angel hair"...at least that's what I think she's
saying, she sounds like she's got a mouthful of angel hair!
Several versions begin with some variation on "swirls & curls of angel
hair"...wonder where THAT came from, if at some point that lyric was
published?
A question for the ages I suppose, and another one that nobody but me gives a
hoot about! ;~)
