Guess the Random Lyric: Final Score: You-3; Me-2
So apparently I way underestimated Angela G’s from Texas love of 70’s rock, b/c she was so like, “Smoke on the Water” by Deep Purple a few moments after the GTRL post went up. So I guess you guys win the week. Annoyance.
But let’s kick of this week with a dead, but still awesome singer, who I decided to use at the GTRL after hearing their name on an episode of Desperate Housewives last week. Here’s a song that was covered by many, but done best by this person in my opin:
Let’s fly way up to the clouds
Away from the maddening crowds
Guesses in the comments. And Deep Purple live after the jump. I chose this particular performance, b/c there’s a rainbow in the background. I like rainbows…
Volare! And I hope you're talking about Sinatra being the best version, because I'm sorry, it just is. But the ORIGINAL artist is Modugno, but that was all in Italian, not just the chorus.
And yes, I know waaaaay too much about that time period of music. The first screenplay I tried writing was more musical than screenplay because of all the lounge/swing music I included in the action lines. Sigh. And it just so happens I'm off to Vegas tomorrow for a few days, and I can't wait to visit the Rat Pack's old haunts — the very few that remain.

I love Frank Sinatra (b/c it's the law), but alas, we disagree about that being the best version. I actually think another member of The Rat Pack did it best.

Dean Martin's version?
Dean Martin's version?
have i mentioned that i don't like when you two work together? Ranh.
To be fair, ETC, it's not straight up to be like, "I know this was covered by 100 people, but name the version I happen to be thinking of."
That's like me giving a lyric to The Christmas Song and waiting for someone to guess Engelbert Humperdinck.
Not really, but you know what I mean.
