I haven't been able to get The 59th Bridge Street Song out of my head since it appeared here.
Me neither.
It's so charming in its datedness. What other '60s songs are that charmingly dated?
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Don't Sleep in the Subway" and others by Petulia Clark? "Say a Little Prayer" by Dionne Warwick?

Ann, that's a ferret.
What other '60s songs are that charmingly dated?
Any hit by the Cowsills except "Hair." And that goes double for "The Rain, the Park, and Other Things."
Lesley Gore's later work, like "California Nights."
Johnny Rivers, "Summer Rain."

Um, I put 8 versions of "Carol of the Bells" on Buffistarawk because of my deep love, and the title was mentioned in Natter. Which reminded me of my deep love. And now I have 9 versions! I have snagged some Jazz there before, but never uploaded. Let me know if they should have been put up differently or something.

The Mannheim Steamroller one is particularly wonderful, but I like them all for different reasons.

That was one of my favorites, along with the a cappella version. Is Acapella the name of a group, or were you just indicating that it was a cappella and don't know the artist?

The way it was titled was Acapella, so maybe the name of the a cappella group. It was sent to me by a friend so unsure. They are quite a powerful set of voices. My son declared it his favorite. Or in his words, "I like the one with the men, not the boys."
