Finally, fame at last :) I think Cyril's track was from the Farewell Nacy LP.

Thanks, Sandman - I just enjoyed some of that.

I can't be sure as I don't have a smart phone (my 2003 model Nokia still works), but it seems allowing pop butchering on the likes of tiktok has paid off for a few, who probably don't deserve the success as much as others who have devoted many more hours to keeping the good tradition.
