This song has been around for forty years and I'd never heard it until this week. Never heard of Judie Tzuke either. I've led a sheltered life.

Every few years this song comes back and haunts me again. It's a sad song to my ears, partly because he's got a melancholy voice but mainly because it reminds me of a girlfriend I had in Germany in the 1980s. She was stunningly beautiful, a bit like the young Jenny Agutter. So long ago now. I only knew her for a while ...

Ive been singing this in my head ever since I posted it in "post something for the heck of it"

I like the play on words. Its clever

Love me, hate me
But can't you see what I see?
All of the boys and all of the girls
Are begging to if you seek Amy

Are begging to (F U C K ME)

By Les Reed and Barry Mason. A big hit for Petula Clark everywhere except the UK for some reason.

This is the moment an entire workingmen’s club falls silent as a man breaks into a moving rendition of Welsh classic Myfanwy.

The video was taken by Tonyrefail carpenter David Llewelyn Morgan and posted onto Facebook. It has drawn comments from around the world.

David told WalesOnline : “He was encouraged by the rest of us to sing it as we’ve heard him sing it before. There was a male choir there visiting that night, which I’m sure you can hear in the background, supporting him towards the end.”

Why so the anger, Oh Myfanwy,
That fill your dark eyes
Your gentle cheeks, Oh Myfanwy,
No longer blush beholding me?
Where now the smile upon your lips
That lit my foolish faithful love?
Where now the sound of your sweet words,
That drew my heart to follow you?

Myfanwy, may your life entirely be
Beneath the midday sun's bright glow,
And may a blushing rose of health
Dance on your cheek a hundred years.
I forget all your words of promise
You made to someone, my pretty girl
So give me your hand, my sweet Myfanwy,
For no more but to say "farewell".​
