I'm not sure the Welsh song will happen - perhaps I should ask Andy G to write a Welsh chorus that I could write a song around.Jude Montaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052100437285993719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298083980971863691.post-70406115658821930322010-07-12T18:39:58.498-07:002010-07-12T18:39:58.498-07:00You were talking a while ago about singing a Welsh...You were talking a while ago about singing a Welsh song. Nana Mouskouri's rendition of "Ar Hyd Y Nos" is just about perfect, and she's done justice to songs from every language and culture I can think of. I had never even considered her makeup before this, though.nhpeacenikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254604511855757363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298083980971863691.post-12296727414395308912010-07-12T15:15:33.473-07:002010-07-12T15:15:33.473-07:00Hey Tone,

I've shied away from it till now but you have emboldened me with this article. <br /><br />Hey Jude is a strange song. It has always been one of my fave Beatles songs but what the hell is it about? Well i know really but it's not easy to tell. And despite its odd lyrics it was covered by many middle of the road people, including Bing, who did an album called Hey jude / Hey Bing. <br /><br />Another strange one is 'Something.' "You stick around and it may show..." That sounds slightly pervy, and yet no-one bothers to question it. Shirley Bassey, Sinatra, they all covered it regardless. <br /><br />And don't even get me started on 'A Hard Day's Night'...Antonionionihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04515078238693529260noreply@blogger.com
