Radka Toneff - My Funny Valentine

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet youre my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But dont change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentines day

Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But dont you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentines day

lucie jones version is way better than this!

[Lotielin]

I strongly disagree. Her voice is way too "young", and it doesn't have all the emotions and sadness and soul that Radka's voice has.

[fatherofthepride1]

this version of the song is just flat out boring and to old to me. lucies version was amazing and she didnt deserve to get booted off the x factor. i would rather listen to lucies version then this one anyday

[Lotielin]

That's ok, you're entitled to your opinion. And I understand how this version can seem "boring" to some, especially those who don't really listen to a lot of jazz/alternative music, or to young people :) Radka's listeners are usually a bit older than 18 (or 21, as I am).

Im in love in this recording.

[Lotielin]

I know, isn't it amazing? Her voice is perfect for this song.

We Americans are so blindly provincial, even when it comes to music.. Ms Toneff, who I've never heard of, proves that artistry defies national origin. Could this be regarded more highly if she were American?

bonjour, hello

an other version of "my funny valentine"

[cruiser1834]

One of my favorite singers. Her The Moon is a Harsh Mistress was voted as one of the best performances in the last 50 years! Eva Cassidy is another great...also died young. Pity she died young! Why do so many good artistes die young?

radka toneff is a singular voice, as can only be said of the finest. finest as in raw, pure, clever, complicated, natural. woman had soul to big to keep. i came to her late but catching up is my happiness.

So very glad to have learned of her and to hear this song/her music, so sad to know that she passed away-it would have been incredible to hear her now. Her voice would have been just a little bit mellower and perhaps lower, and even more beautiful if that were possible. I would have moved mountains to hear her performance now, and I am "just an American." Thank-you again for this...

This is so incredibly lovely.

[lulinajim]

i am a 16 year old girl, and im disappointed that music these days isnt like this anymore :(

we have britney spears and miley cyrus,

what happened to real artists ?

[PeterBrucePhoto]

I love this NOT SLOW at all. Not as good as Chet,but different

[kriptozen]

@fatherofthepride1 only in your dreams...

[silencianus]

@Lotielin I fell in love w/ this version years ago and still am I. I'm 21 now; is that weird? ^_^
