closed...takes a pretty interesting turn at 5:24):

I remember watching The Bobby Goldsboro Show on TV in Australia when I was a
kid. I think there was a puppet or something called "Helmet", and I now
assume that it was a parody of Bobby.

That was one of my favourite songs when I was about 9, not discovering Deep
Purple and Led Zeppelin until shortly afterward.

I prefer Jupiter myself, not as a tear-jerker but as a generally
entertaining piece. For some reason it conjures an image of a long
absent king returning from a victorious campaign looking as a regular
person and he's suddenly recognized in the local market.

All heck is loosed and there's the largest celebration in the kingdom's
history.

Wow. That's heavy. That's loaded with emotion.

Seems I'm in the mood for this kind of stuff. Here's a few that get me
going;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUt_gsGbkto

Rose in Paradise. And from the same concert, Chet Atkins and Mark
Knopfler, Imagine;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPyB8jHGet8

Dexy's Midnight Runners, C'mon Eileen. It was released when my Great
Gran was dying from cancer, her name was Eileen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc-P8oDuS0Q

And finally, The theme from Local Hero, it just gets me going;

Yep - Cash's version is truer than the original could ever be.
Also sad - Joe Strummer wrote the song "Long Shadow" about Johnny Cash
- and then died before Cash did!
