Here ya go.. done by Looking Glass
Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)
-Artists: Looking Glass
-Words and Music by Elliot Lurie
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda)
There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes
And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine
The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loves
He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home
The sailor said " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean foam rise
She saw its ragin' glory
But he had always told the truth, lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
She hears him say " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
"Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
FADE
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

Of course this one was recycled as "Mandy" by Barry Manilow some years
later.

Scott English did record a song called BRANDY (which Barely Man-enough
re-recorded as MANDY) but I don't think that's the tune this post was
looking for.

He was looking for a song called Brandy, and the song by Scott English was
called Brandy and not Mandy so as it was re-recorded by Barry Manilow.
What's the buzz?

Apparently there are two different songs involved here titled BRANDY.
One by SCOTT ENGLISH, just called BRANDY. The other one was performed
by the group LOOKING GLASS and had the title BRANDY (YOU'RE A FINE
GIRL).
The first responses in this thread had involved the LOOKING GLASS song
and when the responses shifted to the SCOTT ENGLISH song, well, some
of the posts didn't make it clear that they were talking about a
different song. They could be read that someone was claiming that
MANDY by BARRY MANILOW was a remake of BRANDY (YOU'RE A FINE GIRL),
thus getting the WHOA reaction.
At least, that's how I see it.
