Hi Q:

Originally, this started with the song. However, in its Infinite Greed, WMG's third party complaint led to YT's stripping the soundtrack.

I had originally included Scarlett's version because her singing was better than I expected. The track proved popular, but I'd suggest that you not dash out to buy the CD. In fact, I suggest that you BOYCOTT WMG in punishment for their petty-minded greed. There is plenty of good material from labels that are not so churlishly greedy.

When YT has thus butchered an audio track, it provides the option of attaching a piece of approved music from YT's very limited repetoire. There might be some decent tracks in the YT selection, but I have not found anything really good. The substituted audio here is "Morning Mood" from Edvard Grieg's "Peer Gynt". It is quite a pretty piece of music, though this particular performance is merely adequate.

The images range from California to Andalusia.

  • Absolutely beautiful slides. What has this to do with Scarlett Johanssen or summmertime? I think this music is written by Grieg

  • Thanks. I thought that the summertime aspect was obvious. As to Scarlett Johanssen, the explanation is in the sidebar.

    Yes, the substitute track is Grieg.

  • damn, i was looking foward to listening 2 this :(

  • It was quite good. Darn and drat that WMG and YT couldn't come to an agreement about financial terms!

  • you are so right, i had the same problem with wmg and came to the same conclusion: they are assholes.

  • They are being greedy because YT was not paying them "enough". That's why I think that a boycott would hit 'em where it hurts.
