I haven't looked at this ridiculous thread for several days, and I have every intention of failing to follow my own oft-repeated advice and NOT reading it.

However, Saturday Live on R4 (minus Ms Glover) has just played the thing by kRusby, interspersed with someone talking about their disabled children which was more than a bit bizarre.

I complain loud and often about those who take trad material and proceed to iron it out into conformity with trite, run-of-the-mill melodic structure and metre for commercial purposes. This is precisely what's been done to this version of the pop song in question, in much the same way as Cole Porter's Every Time We Say Goodbye is murdered by omitting the key change.

Well, well. This is taking 'good enough for f*lk' way, way too far, I'd say.
