  Seven Songs for the Week #156 - 1st Apr 26

  Jason Carty

  Amongst the parodies of songs you know for which Al is famous, there are also his own original songs, albeit in a specific style, of which this is one. In many ways, these songs are somewhat lethal - it's one thing to change the lyrics of Like A Virgin to Like A Surgeon, it's quite another to craft a spot-on James Taylor song which you couldn't tell apart from the real thing from the next room. The chord change after "Those were the good old days/ those were the good old days" is excellent stuff. Why do we even need James Taylor? Al can do it all!
