When I was in the fifth grade I was chosen to be the MC of a talent show at school.
No less than five entries sang that song. After the last one I said, “Wow, after 2500 miles from home we should be close to NY by now”.
It was a cool song. There is video of him singing it as an old man. Not so good. The basic song has been done by a lot of people. But I think he has the best version.
