To: a fool in paradise

I find that the original version of that song the most depressing song ever. Have you ever noticed that it starts out at a 4/4 time but then slowly changes to a 2/4 time by the third line. Completely deflates a joyous occasion into a death march.

It wasn’t written by professional song-pluggers. It came from a simple childrens’ greeting for the teacher.

“Good morning to you, good morning to you...”

I don't know what original performance you're talking about, but the song is in 3/4 time, not 4/4 time.

Don't believe me?
