Is this the performance on the Rik Palieri show that you asked about on Footstompin already?

If so, I repeat - why on earth would you want to play such a godawful twiddly irrelevance? It adds NOTHING to the song (and Emily Smith herself seems to have decided to emulate a third-rate Irish pub singer for this occasion, she can do much better).

Here's a chording from the 1960s. It's already an ugly overcomplicated mess.

What did this song do to deserve so many appallingly tasteless arrangements?
