For reasons of sheer boredom (and too much red wine - for influenzal medicinal purposes), I've been listening to about 20 versions of this.


Who do you think is the best?


Deanna Durbin - too perfect.

Mario Lanza - not the right song for him

Sinead O'Connor - bad phrasing

Celtic Woman - looks like a mermaid, v. suspicious

The Pogues - taking the piss

Eva Cassidy - too country

Tom Jones - no way

Andy Williams - too smooth

Johnny Cash - too stilted

Jim Reeves - hate to diss him, but no. Could have pulled it off a cappella.

Elvis - too much vibrato

Nana Mouskouri - favouring this at mo, but accent is dodgy


I simply can't rest until this issue is solved.

Haven't heard that in ages!



For great instrumental versions, the

rendition is a favourite in our house (mrs.number5 had to pull the car over the first time she heard it), and the version from Brassed Off remains great.

Have just been listening to the brassed off version BN5 - and then had to watch Danny's "acceptance" speech again. Great film.

    • As a former Pug owner I get really upset and angry when I see owners of brachycephalic breeds (all bull dog breeds, pugs etc) taking them out in hot sun..Those breeds should be walked very early in the morning and at dusk ideally or if they need a pee just pop out for a moment or two..do NOT drag the dog around panting like a fur accessory. I REALLY want to 'have a word' with the owners but when i once did that a couple of years ago (frenchie pup being dragged along panting in the heat kept trying to lie down in obvious distress) its female owner told me to f-off and mind my own buisness so now I avoid the aggro.
