shame about the rogue G :)

Jupiter makes perfect sense. He was the chief Roman god (aka Greek Zeus) - hence 'my beard so very long and flowing'.
Whatever happened to classical education?

absolutely f*cking awesome!!!
This won't be a popular thing to say, but I reckon this beats Scott walker, and I LOVE Scott walker.
Fantastic.

who's this dude?

Amazing! Really true to the spirit of the song. Check out my version, which is kind of ordinary, but I fixed a few lyrics which weren't working. "Jupiter" makes no sense, for instance. (of course, "Juniper" is just bizarre, man).

Originally from Brel, you're right!
Great Milk and cookie night!

Wasn't "Jacky" originally Jacques Brel, with this particular translation performed by Scott Walker? (I suppose I should also reference the Marc Almond version, which leads me neatly to a video response. God, I'm an anorak!)
Just for you guys, I've changed the name...
