Classic tune with classically sparse orchestration.  And beautiful ... palm trees on a 1940's Miami Beach, anyone?

Guessing this means that AvoidingWork will be doing just that.  {#Cheers}  I have to say that I rated this song a 9, because it's "Beyond the Sea," and because it's Django.  I'll add a third reason now:  The damned song makes me sway and swoon and ache for the good ol' days when a song and a sunset were enough to make a person happy. I "get" it - I just wish more people did.

Enjoy your martini, AW. I'm smiling now...

 
... and your comment solidifies its place as a 9.  Make mine an Old Fashioned with American rye, though...

lophrequa, if you get the opportunity, I recommend renting "Finding Nemo."  It's a delightful movie about a little orange clown-fish who gets caught by humans and put in an aquarium. His father goes looking for him and has a series of incredible adventures, meets various other sea creatures, and learns a lesson or two about himself along the way.  It's one of my favorite "feel-good" movies, and the Pixar people are insanely talented and funny.

My favorite part of the closing credits is all the activity going on as a backdrop.  Little jellyfish squirting across the screen, etc. And "Beyond the Sea" is the song playing during the credits, as AvoidingWork said.  (Hey, AvoidingWork - it's now FRIDAY. Stop avoiding work and go have some FUN!) {#Cheers}

I asume that you are aware of the anachronism of referring to Reinhardt's passing chords as "Hendrix chords", but still.

Sadly, some might say, I only heard this song first time in the game "Bioshock". Fits the game very nicely however.
 
Nerdy comment....

That's much different than the cover of the US version.

Not sure what it is vinyl - 1949 the year of publication. And the music is wonderful, yes.

Child, you have so very much to learn about music and music making. There are so many places and ways you could learn, but none of them start or end with hanging around an internet site and throwing grenades for the adolescent fun of it. Okay, I've wasted enough time on you.

 
I'm in an unforgiving mood, too. crockydile posted a legit and non-abusive opinion which was moderately amusing to this reader at least. Where do you get off slagging her/him off for that? S/he's a regular poster here, whereas your nick's pretty new to me. You have so very much to learn about civilised behaviour on discussion boards, and perhaps social skills in general. Grow up, child.
