First, how nice it would be to get so drunk and have Julie London sing to you in her understated style.

Anyway, last year when Michael Buble did his audition for a bond song covering this classic something inside me hated it. Really hated his version. I can understand why though as the tune lends itself to something bombastic (and I swear at certain sections there is a hint of the bond theme!).

It was yesterday though when the pieces fell into place. It's the setting of the song. In other cover versions they relate the tale of the song. Two ex's coming together, the one trying to get back with the wronged partner, but the singer of the song is telling the person where to go, relating how much they hurt them; the lines detailing they remembered exactly how the relationship split up.

The singer is telling their former lover that they are doing have to do something in terms of pain and suffering that the singer went through when they got dumped. What isn't said is even if you did that I'm still not coming back to you in the cold manner you did it to me.

Why hate Mickey Bubbles version though? It's a fake sincerity with the song, you don't really believe he would want that ex to cry him a river. Really if you want to use passion to do it then look as if you've gone through a lot of pain and anguish when singing it as in this gem..
