I would love to look in your wardrobe. It must be fascinating. You get to wear the greatest stuff and boy you wear them well!

[giddyknees]

hahahaaa that was beautiful

i'm singing this for a uni audition next month and now have an idea of how to make those judges giggle.

I too am a huge annie ross fan. what a masterpiece this song is, and you did a devilishly good job of making it fabulous. that was the most entertaining thing i have seen for ages.

This guy is awesome! LMAO!!! And really cool phrasing too.

Incredible artistry - the control and virtuosity here is formidable and amazingly humorous. A lovely tribute to Ross' masterpiece.

Ta so much - Annie Ross is a total legend - amazing to think she wrote TWISTED in 1952! most people think it's a Joni Mitchell song (after she covered it on 'Court & Spark' in 1973). I think the 'double decker buses' refer to Annie's childhood in Edinburgh!

Wow, it's great to get a reply from the genuine article! You make me proud to be an Aussie. Music is really just a subset of comedy (I speak as a composer). Annie Ross - yes, and so young (she was only 22). Genius.

I can't imagine how much rehearsal it would take to be able to do your delivery - so much detail.

The greater the song, the easier it is to learn - as i'm sure you will know only too well. and after all, i'd been singing along to it for DECADES before I first sang it on stage, but I will admit the first couple of performances of it (at the Black Cat in Fitzroy, Melb) were a little shaky... ;-)

With all the craziness going on here, and it was brilliantly funny, it's easy to overlook the fact that the jazz artistry here was phenominal. Bravo, Mark!!! :))

The London shows were so memorable... and big thanks to Amber Beattie for doing such a great vid!
