Excellent interpretation (as per usual) by Andy Williams, and really just a well done Casablanca tribute. Kudos to langduking for the vid. ^^

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, IT FAILED? *faith in humanity shatters*
Sniff. Well. That won’t stop me from spamming this blog with Saawariya things for a bit. Ayez patience, s’il vous plait.
In the lives of children, pumpkins can turn into coaches, mice and rats into human beings. When we grow up, we learn that it’s far more common for human beings to turn into rats.

Tybalt’s Lament (C’est Pas Ma Faute)
New English lyrics to “C’est Pas Ma Faute”, with the alternative title as “They Can’t See Me”. Inspiration comes from Don Black, who actually isn’t that bad a lyricist. Just a mediocre translator, as proven by The Production That Must Not Be Named (aka London RetJ). *shudders in disgust*
But to give credit where credit is due, I got the idea to do a new English translation of “C’est Pas Ma Faute” from That Production That Must Not Be Named, where “C’est Pas Ma Faute” was effectively replaced by a short solo by Tybalt called “She Can’t See Me” set to the tune of - horror of horrors - Le Bal. Well. I thought: “Okay, have Tybalt sing about his unrequited love for Juliet, fine - but at least don’t use Le Bal, for Chrissake! Or better yet, have Tybalt lament the fact that his family can’t see him more than a tool for their revenge than a person, and have it called ‘They Can’t See Me’ or something - “
Oh. Oh. Oh.
So in that manner my mind lit up on that little idea and I came up with new English lyrics (for, what, the 500th time?) to “C’est Pas Ma Faute”. Continue reading at your own risk.
Dancing in the dark
Till the tune ends
We’re dancing in the dark
And it soon ends
We’re waltzing in the wonder of why we’re here
Time hurries by
We’re here and gone…

“It Ain’t Necessarily So”, an awesome song from George and Ira Gershwin’s and DuBose Heyward’s awesome Porgy and Bess. Interpreted awesomely by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. Arranged awesomely into jazz by Russell Garcia.
Plus it just so happens to sum up what I think of religion in a nutshell.
