I always had a soft spot for this song, especially in its Beach Boys-like original version w/ the Pennypipers. But your stripped-down version has potential too! Thanks for sharing.
Well, not my favorite, but I mainly blame the song itself. While they're doing some John (or Johnny) Williams, what about his "Nice To Be Around" from "Cinderella Liberty"? Paul Williams does it in the movie (he wrote the lyrics), and we hear various instrumental arrangements of it, mainly for harmonica (which I just love), and Maureen McGovern recorded my favorite vocal cover of it.
