[kohoio]

As puzzled as the oyster??

[awkcc]

fail.

[pxyzyzygy]

Bloody hell. That is 16 different types of shit.

[SeventiesMania]

Elizabeth Fraser's version is the ultimate. You can hardly tell it's the same song.

[balmainguy]

elevator muzac..... very poor cover, which misses the whole point of the song.

[ajwhelpley]

yes. pat boone destroyed this beautiful song.

[overtheunder1993]

Wow he fucked up one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[nlgbbbblth]

Yes, Boone obviously was inspired by Buckley's rendition on The Monkees television show and managed to record his own version before Tim released it on the Starsailor LP

[diskochimp]

Apparently this version pre-dates Buckley's own! I had no idea...

[DJMavis]

@diskochimp It does, but only because Buckley refused to record it due to his concern over the line "as puzzled as the oyster" which apparently garnered some mockery, Buckley changed it I think. So all credit to Buckley and his co-writer, but This Mortal Coil were breathtaking in comparison to any other version,

[Sunderlanding]

@DJMavis I hate the Mortal Coil version. Too pretentious and premeditated. Buckley's version is much more intimate and real. By far the best of all versions.

[clawpuss2]

Great song, terrible rendition.

[Ericmann99]

@clawpuss2 Agreed
