NPR this morning during Scott Simon's "Saturday Edition" show was playing really bad renditions of songs from the 70's. Some guy doing a horrible rendition of "Love Will Keep Us Together" - a little kid butchering "You Are The Wind Beneath My Wings" - etc.
But the creepiest version went to:
Liberace performing Neil Diamond's "You Don't Bring Me Flowers."
I mean, when it got to the lyric "When it's good for you and you're feelin' all right, well you just roll over and turn out the light," I was like "eeeuuuuwwww!!"
I don't have anything against Liberace - my mom and I saw him in concert several times, and he was fantastic. They didn't call him "Mr. Showmanship" for nothing.
But there are just certain songs that some performers should never do, and this is one of those combinations!
I think I'll go to You Tube now and watch the clip of the priceless time at the Grammy Awards when Neil and Barbra sang this song to each other. Now THAT was a classic moment.
