In honour of a really hot, generally miserable day:

[kniteracy]

Why should I suffer alone?

I invite you all to download and, um, enjoy the Doris Day version of Barbara Allen.

No, really. Don't worry: the horn section swings!

That was... special.

I mean, ok, yes, I like swing. As an instrumental, if I didn't know the words, I might like it but...
somehow I can just picture the Barbara Allens in EOTW saying "What the heck did they do to our song!??"

I don't hate Doris Day's singing either. She's a bit on the "perky" side but hey... that's ok for some stuff. But Barbara Allen!??
sigh

I want to add this to the Golden Throats rotation - it appeals to me in the same "What were they thinking?" sense.

Thanks
