Thanks for posting that song. I always loved it. That it's based on J.S. Bach's "Minuet in G major" doesn't hurt either.

This is a song I've always liked but never got around to buying until recently (thank goodness for on-line music buying!). I don't know if it's the original version, but it's the one that I like.

It seems like classical music has a way of popping up in my popular songs. "All By Myself" by Eric Carmen (and Celine Dion) and "Could It Be Magic" by Barry Manilow are just two of the songs that come to mind that feature classical influences.

it's hard to limit it to only one but this may well be my favourite augie march song :

I dreamt I got a snakebite
Just a dream but upon waking up my head felt light
My arm felt tight

Where the serpent struck
A mark so faintly
There upon me
With very little warning the end

And if you think that I'm becoming the worst I can become
You've got another thing coming baby
I've a few tricks up my dirty white sleeve
Run run run run run
Run run run run run

I see that you've got well made hands
You're well put together
You smell like apples
Taste like the sea
And in your nature
A full set of vigors
I have a vision of you ripely
Hanging from the tree
Swinging in the orchard breeze

And though nobody wants a part of the ritual
You could at least keep me an honest vigil
And if you see me rising up through the floor
With unblinking eyes
Run run run run run
Run run run run run

I'm pretty sure the one you bought is the original. The Supremes did do a cover, however.

Probably not online anywhere, but Alisha's Attic, Personality Lines:

hang up the chick habit
hang it up, daddy,
or you'll be alone in a quick

If you're an Aussie and you listen to this, and don't want to jump up and scream and spill you're Bundy-and-coke, well, you're dead inside, or at least not drunk enough...

[montsnmags]

Okay, sure it's not all of it (just the guitar bit), but I'm listening to all of it, and I'm not even completely wasted:

[montsnmags]

If I knew these gin-soaked legs would do it, I'd get up right about now and dance to...

Just awesome...raising my glass.

[montsnmags]

I'll raise a glass too. Honest, I've got it in iTunes, and I'm listening to it at the mo':

B-side!

"Goodbye to the dear old mum
Mummified on gin and rum
Smile and wave and just play dumb
Goodbye to the crown

Farewell the jewel crown
Farewell the velvet gown
Watch it all come tumbling down
Goodbye to the crown
Goodbye to the crown"
