Eeep. Too many links. I'll drop a note to the webmaster. Looks like he is a Russian Physicist. Of course, that doesn't mean he knows where it originated either. His site added several lovely variations to my collection.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My favorite totally dated 60s song is Someone Left a Cake Out in the Rain

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
MONTREAL (CP) - A disappointed Warren Hill says he's going to try again to sell his fabled acetate of the Velvet Underground's famous first recording, despite being thwarted by a prankster EBay bidder.
Hill, a soft-spoken 30-year-old who started his own tiny vintage record store six months ago, sounded downcast about the results of the Internet auction that concluded Friday with the highest of 253 bids clicking in at C$178,431.51.
The bid was too good to be true.
"It seems like the highest bidder was faked," Hill said in a telephone interview Monday.
But asked if he would try and sell it again, Hill replied: "Yep."
Bummer.

I don't understand that story. There were at least a dozen different bidders who bid over US$150K. If the top bidder backs out, eBay lets you make a "second chance offer" to the second place bidder and down the line. In all the articles I've seen since the auction ended, there's been no mention of this.

I put 8 versions of "Carol of the Bells" on Buffistarawk because of my deep love
OK, I haven't looked at what you posted, but I have the following versions if anyone wants: George Winston, Nox Arcana (gothy!) The Nylons, Steve Morse and Manuel Barrueco.
And, of course, "Carol of the Great Old Ones" by the Arkham Chorale.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The Nylons version is probably a capella.

Indeed it is. Except they don't sing the words to the song, just "La la la lah"
