Excellent song from one of history's greats!
This song was actually written and recorded in 10050 Cielo Drive, where the Charles Manson massacre took place.

One of my favoutite unsad songs was "Wonderful World" sang by Louis Armstrong.
However, my sister played it at her young son's funeral.
Can you imagine that song in that setting?
Suddenly, it became the saddest song I have ever heard!

That is bizarre and more than a bit morbid.
Especially when the words: 'I hear babies cry, I watch them grow.
They'll learn much more than I'll never know'... were heard.
It was incredibly emotional, believe me.
It wasn't crass though. I did, however, think that better a song could have been chosen.
Bear in mind; they were pretty much an emotional mess, under the circumstances.

GRANNY.
Murdering such a hopeful song so badly should be punishable by removal of the vocal cords.
Frankly, only Cohen himself should be allowed to sing that song.
