Great song by a legend but , the kid in me still likes the original more . What a wonderful world is by far his best recording and is one of my favorite songs period .
This is about as good as it gets. I listen to this alot all over the year and it kinds of almost make me cry every time. I just love it. We get to hear a genius musician in action.
This song is so fantastic! And Armstrong's verison is the best.
I know that this song originally not are a christmas song, but when I hear this version... and every others versions of it, i begin to think about christmas.
Further to WillWivell's comments: Linda Ronstadt sings 'bolt' as does Ukelele Ike (the original voice of Jiminy Cricket) on the movie sound track. The Glenn Miller version (vocalist Tex Beneke?) has the same. From a purely idiomatic point of view 'bolt' makes most sense. Think of an idea hitting a person 'like a bolt out of the blue.'
Agreed. I looked it up, and every internet source seems to think that it's 'boat', though. In hindsight, 'bolt' makes much more sense - it just shows how much the internet is created by people who just assume they're in the know, and people who blindly agree with this 'knowledge'. Most of the lyric websites must have copied this apparent error, but I think you're right.
Interesting... in the Johnny Mathis version, the lyrics are 'like a boat'. As much as pronunciation is debatable when it comes to the vocal style of Louis Armstrong, you can hear pretty much every word clearly in Mathis' version. So maybe it is 'boat' after all...
I can't believe this conversation, it's 'bolt out of the blue' which everyone knows is a well known phrase. Boat out of the blue is nonsense!! Google it and it will auto complete. Perhaps it's an age thing!
John seemed to harbour an inexplicable sense of joy about the fact that I didn't know who you (Munkeh999) actually were. But I actually did know, and John found out. Just humour him - any time now, the one remaining brain cell in his head, the metaphorical dam holding back the psychopathic madness all too present within his mind, will die, and then we're all doomed. The best we can do is to postpone this inevitability and make the most of our radically foreshortened lives. Humour him! Please!
You make a point. Not just a point, in fact, but a good one.
The less time I have to spend holding him back with my palm on his forehead as his arms wildly flail in attemtps to throttle me, the better.
On that note, let's do our best not to hit him across the head, and be sure to give him a daily injection of lard so that we can run away better when he starts waving an axe about.

Fear not, Mister Mahon - insults are not on the menu here. Not after the Ambassador of Czechoslovakia came here and ordered it. Turned out he was allergic to the cumin in the recipe, and he swelled up like a big beach ball filled with porridge. Let that be a lesson to you - never invite anybody anywhere ever.
Although if you don't invite Sir Paul to see the new Transformers film, there is a significant risk that he may kill and rape your family (in that order), then run naked through the streets of London, torching cars and causing women to faint with much gasping and crumpling of the dress. Then the smelling salts would be needed. How I hate those smelling salts! I fear such things as tsunamis, some meteors, a few angry spaniels, the Jewish Anti Defamation League, and running out of letters.
What a voice.... So breathtaking

I was able to come across a wonderful image at the night when this music wanted to hear it somehow.
Even if letters danced like a shooting star and took it, it was healed.

its like a BOAT. because when you are lost at sea you pray that something or someone will guide you through the waters to safety. SO IT IS BOAT.

I have a book of the song with both original recordings. And I checked two sheet music sites. It is Like a Bolt not like a boat.

You are correct - it is supposed to be bolt, not boat. Look up the lyrics of the songwriters Leigh Harline & Ned Washington.
