Moon River

One of my all-time favorite songs. Ever since I saw 'The In Crowd' * on HBO one day after school (middle school, that is), I have LOVED this song. 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' only made me LOVE the song even more. I can't explain, it just leaves me with a wonderful feeling inside. So, I did a search for the song in iTunes and found some real gems. There are at least 150 different versions of this wonderful song including artists such as REM, Willie Nelson, Stevie Wonder and Louis Armstrong.

* You know the film is 'class' when IMDB can't be bothered to include a poster.

On a side note, it's not as fun when you try "What A Wonderful World" or "Over The Rainbow." Each have at least 150 versions, but many are quite scary! "Over The Rainbow" has a Kathy Lee Gifford version, as well as a Kylie Minogue one. I'm just waiting for the David Hasselhoff version before I download... Ha!



I've been feeling a bit nostalgic this evening. This week's downloads: "Moon River," "What A Wonderful World," a few Eva Cassidy songs, Rickie Lee Jones's 'Traffic From Paradise' and "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae. They've been playing Corinne's song a lot lately. It's catchy - a bit young, but I can't seem to keep it out of my head. Check it out for yourself.
