Random thought for the day

Don't sound much like Simon and Garfunkel, but not bad. I have heard worse trying to sing it.

I really like Pentatonix, but that arrangement just does not match the song. Not one little bit. I like this one a lot better:

Anyone can listen to whatever version they like. On most songs that were released while I was in high school or soon after, I prefer the original version that was being played on all the AM popular music stations at that time and performed by the artist who wrote the song. Just something more familiar about them and they are connected with memories from a earlier time. I was not in the United States from 1970 - 1973 and most of that time only had access to Armed Forces Network or recorded music. The version playing back then was one of the few connections we had to where we were from. Particularly true of some rock music that was banned by Armed Forces Network and somebody would get a copy in the mail from home. Those were copied a hundred times and passed around. The only other place we could hear banned music was from Hanoi Hannah broadcasting from Radio Hanoi. There was no such thing as the World Wide Web or Satellite TV. On the long over water flights, mostly at night, you could pick up many foreign broadcasting stations playing the popular American or British music. From 10,000 plus feet in the sky the navigator could lock on to a station broadcasting American or British music and route it through the intercom to make the hours just burning fuel less boring.

I really like Disturbed's version of this song, but I'm a lifelong metal-head.
