  • @Polyhymnia61 Hi, point taken. Since most of the music I have liked since the mid '70's never sold squat, I too rarely take sales figures into account. I only mentioned it in this case to illustrate the impact the Terry Jacks version had. Though you and I care not for sales figues, I'm certain both Brel and McKuen were happy with the impact those figures had on their bank accounts! Cheers

  • @charlyW34 Sales figures mean nothing to me, sorry. And Brel's original (and the Walker Brother's lovely English remake from the sixties) aren't considered "obscure" to audiences outside North America.

  • @Polyhymnia61 Yes, McKuen made a deal with Brel to do the official English translation. However, Terry Jacks is correct in saying that he changed the lyric in some significant ways, making it more appealing to a teen audience. His version sold 12 million plus. It was a pretty obscure tune before that, so give Terry a little credit! Cheers

  • @UTubeIsTrackingYou no excuse, just a bad vid

  • @cheriansrule Because she is trying to force him into marrying her so that she can divorce him and steal his boat.

  • This is stupid, why is he beating that girl?

  • even the bad stuff is fun after enough time passes!

  • Thanks;learned something new today!

  • @bikebeerrun1960 Actually he didn't. Rod McKuen wrote English lyrics for Jacques Brel's original French version ("Le Moribond") in 1963...despite what Terry Jacks says!

  • Man, that Terry Jacks had A macabre streak in him. . . no wonder he later wrote stuff like "Seasons in the Sun".
