[unworldlywriter]

pocho the crocodile's funeral brought me here

[Crossover3king]

fck fck fck fck fck i was listening to 50's song and then that fcking advert start singing some rap songs fck this

[CognitiveDissonancy]

A great song from the good old days, when they wanted to fight about it, but had to wear a suit.

[BastuGrabben]

I had the fortune to see them live some 30 years ago at Haparanda Stads hotell. What a thrill, and I enjoyed every minute of the show. : ))

[ultrabrougham]

My one love and I danced to this song 60 years ago. We never married and I don't know where she is now. Sad, Isn't it?

[MissClavelle]

grrrrrrrr im mad because i was born in the nineties instead of 50's or 60's and missed this great music :(

[grace1237up]

[rhardRockstar66]

[TheTwoRandoms]

Wow this is great! Freddie Mercury did a great cover of it!

[superwhuffo1]

This was the number one song when I was born. lol

[triggersprollie]

mark brandon 'chopper' read brought me here

[nicokilla11]

I'm so good at pretending i am i human, but i am actually a cow.....

[nschulz4537]

When I think of this song when I'm humming it to myself, I hear the oooo-oo-ooooo background part a lot more prominently than it actually is.

[NevitablePinholeBurn]

Zola...mmm.

[awesomechic17]

@OzmusicJeffree wait wat does that even mean? the lead singer of the platters walked up to you and just started singing? you dont make sense.

[CardboardScone]

this has always been my favorite song to play on the piano. and this is the first time i've heard the actual song. it's just as a great as i thought it would be

[czechoid123]

When I first heard this, it put me in mind of all those outdated monarchies that are still around... All of them pretending:P

[gyroe182]

@czechoid123 Some Monarchs are not pretending (Thankfully), but humbly in their place... this is an awesome song, Freddy's version brought me to this & this rendition is brilliant too!

[stratocasterbeast]

i used to pretend, then i took an arrow to the knee.  "my knee is such i prentend too much im lonely but no one can tell"

[CelioCostaGT]

Raul Seixas recorded this song, he did a better interpretation of it.

[lluis0793]

@CelioCostaGT não cara, não foi melhor, adoro o Raul, mas não foi melhor

[Marydawgs]

No one can sing this like Tony Williams!

[Skelter95]

3 people pretend too much XD

[89MidnightSun89]

Not bad at all but Freddie nailed it better



[glorybra]

@89MidnightSun89 No way man! There is nothing like the original.

[Afereth]

@89MidnightSun89 really? i thought his main deal was being nailed not nailing anything. I heard he loved a good nail once in a while.

[420jordee]

yea it all rite lol =)

[727chitown]

@ferroxian busking is playing music on the street and people give you money. It's a way to showcase talent in many places.

[Montegoman66]

[TheRobjeezy]

[LowScoville]

I asked my my mom to pick any song and she picked this one. When I played this she just sat back, closed her eyes, and sang along, even though it's probably been a long time since she's heard it. Thanks for posting!

[TheDPersall]

@LowScoville listen to the words of this song maybe your mom feels like the lyrics in this song

[jazzalex22]

The Platters rule. This is one of my favorite songs from them. They just don't make em like this anymore.

[batery507]

Fantastic !!!!!!

[compadrefoncho]

im wearing my heart like clow pretending you re still around

... SO AWESOME

[bluegrassbaby86]

Oh my word, I love this song. My uncle made a mix tape for my Meemaw of some 50s music back in the 80s and I used to love to listen to it as a kid. This song was on it, but the tape had a lot of dragging on it because it was old and got played a lot, so I learned the songs with the dragging and it sounds weird hearing it correctly. I miss that tape. I think it got tore up, but I made a copy of it in 1995 with bad audio quality and all and I really need to find that tape.

[sp9rks]

@bluegrassbaby86 so did you find it yet

[chemochinga]

Too Damn Beautiful! BRAVO!!!!

[1Lordock]

tHANKS!!
