    A song which envites to listen to the lyrics. I can not say I really understand what he's getting at though
    5/10

    A classic song - explained
    Mack the Knife (2nd English version)

    Interesting to see some real singers for a change. 7/10

    Here's another one:

    A bit too sweet for me, but that woman can sing!
    6/10

    I rather have a bit of comedy in it
    Betty Hutton
    As for voices, I like Tori Amos her version better - but Betty Hutton does know how to bring it

    I prefer them sweet. Betty Hutton was one of those blonde bombshell types like the Andrews Sisters that were all over the place in WWII, so i'll give it 6/10.
    Now here's a combination of both the sweet and the loud.

    Thanks to this thread I discovered that the film 'A Certain Smile' was available in its entirety. Here's the theme song. Sorry there's no drugs or infantilism involved but things have obviously improved since then.

    WOW! My dad would SO love this song. I give it 2/10 only because I have such a high opinion of my dad.

    If I were in a better mood I could possibly do this but for today I'm giving it a 3. It's just too upbeat.

    Here's a late 80's Dial MTV Video

    Thanks sixsmith,

    Just what I needed. I think you know the rating.

    Now this one is marginally less childish and the cat looks very much like my own.
