    Great choice Paul 10/10.
    One of my favorites.

    You beat me to Brian's. i was going to suggest that Brian's dame must have been a mentor to Tiny Tim:

    Something with the normal tonal range.
    That's an interesting point you raise about a semi-tone higher. It may be that the recording techniques of the time required singers to raise their voices to achieve the desired effect. However, I maintain that it is much more acceptable to the sub-humanoid world of the present 'music' scenario.

    I forgot to rate the song, I'll give it 5/10 for the video of Turkey.

    Thank you, Captain Mainwaring. And that would be 'more acceptable than'. You higher primates are expected to have mastered syntax.

    In the meantime, I find Tiny Tim slightly disturbing, I have to say. 2/10

    If pushed, I'd have to express a preference for those whom Uncle Eugenics over there describes as sub-human. For instance....

    Glad to see that you require 'all' to bolster your own self-centered lack of musical understanding. Now who was it that said, inter alia, "You can fool some of the people all of the time?"

    Looks like eugenics took a turn for the worse especially with the hair. I realize the video attributes have nothing to do with the song, but I find myself turned on by white patent leather boots, therefore 4/10.

    Here’s a ditty that I believe both MarkBastable and Brian can find common ground in:

    Yeah, a common ground of mutual dislike.

    I however think it's pretty good, 7.5/10
