Sports roundup! I'd forgotten about that...

Doubt any of you have ever heard this, but on my old home-town radio station (2RG), the morning presenter (Alan Wallett) used to every now and then play a cover of Roger Whittaker’s “The LAst Farewellâ€?

Ah, Griffith? I used to enjoy Alan Wallet’s sports round-up, at least. But yes, an awful station and a very weird town.

God I hated my home town..

Try living fifty kilometres east of there.

Actually, I nominate the theme from Charmed instead.. Morrissey would be turning in his grave (if he was dead and wasnt pocketing huge royalties).

The original an emotive, well-orchestrated piece that swings between mournful and celebratory without ever losing its reverence for the art that inspired it. The cover is a bland, insipid piece of generic dance crap that should never have been spawned. Just like the aforementioned cover of <i>I Love Rock 'n Roll</i>, Madonna manages to completely strip away the aspects that made the original a classic.
