I mostly knew him from his late 50s output which is at least okay.

My utter disinterest in sport is well established. I still have known the name Brett Favre for a long time.

The grand serial murder tale always felt apt to win this contest on DeathList and I think it's the first time my absolute favorite song in the game won the whole thing. Though the gap between Mack the Knife and All I Have To Do Is Dream is very close. Felt like doing a ranking of the final too; a lot of the list is fluid though I'm pretty secure in my top four Bobby Darin — Mack The Knife The Everly Brothers — All I Have To Do Is Dream / Claudette The Platters — Smoke Gets In Your Eyes Bobby Darin — Dream Lover The Crickets — That’ll Be The Day Tennessee Ernie Ford — Sixteen Tons  Elvis Presley — Jailhouse Rock Bill Haley & His Comets — Rock Around The Clock The Teenagers ft. Frankie Lymon — Why Do Fools Fall In Love Paul Anka — Diana Jerry Lee Lewis — Great Balls Of Fire Kay Starr — Comes A-Long A-Love Connie Francis — Stupid Cupid / Carolina Moon Rosemary Clooney & The Mellomen — Mambo Italiano Johnston Brothers — Hernando’s Hideaway Elvis Presley — All Shook Up Guy Mitchell — Singing The Blues Doris Day — Que Sera Sera Rosemary Clooney — This Ole House Alma Cogan — Dreamboat Prez Prado & His Orchestra — Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White Frankie Laine — I Believe Perry Como & The Ramblers — Don’t Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes Tony Bennett — Stranger In Paradise Mantovani & His Orchestra — The Song From Moulin Rouge

I first learned of Mad World (the Gary Jules one) via a SpongeBob meme At any rate, Tears For Fears definitely a group who deserve to have KoS gold.

60s channel this morning was playing the Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazlewood version of Jackson. Guess he got buried in a fever.
