There was a movie on yesterday that I was overhearing from downstairs - I believe it was one of the Father of the Bride films - and I couldn't help but notice the melody of the theme song. I knew I knew it from somewhere...but not in its current form. I couldn't get the tune out of my head. I kept humming it to myself, and slowly words started coming to me. The words were different by far than those used in this other version, but soon I realized where I knew it from...
GIDGET!
Yes! That was it! Same exact tune! So I went in search of the song on Youtube. First I ran across another old favorite...the theme song from the TV series. Ohhhhh man. That took me right back. I remember being 17 years old and just OBSESSED with the show. I wanted to BE Sally Field's character! I loved every last thing she ever wore on that show, all that fab 60's fashion.
Then I ran across something in the related links that I'd never seen before - the FULL version of the song.
HOLY CRAP!!!! There's entire verses of the song I didn't even know existed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O_O My mind is blown, and my inner 17 year old fangirl is squealing like crazy. I'd always wished this song was longer...had I only known about this then!! Man!
But then I was hot on the trail of the correct song in question. This, although the wrong performer, IS the correct song:
*swoons* This guy has a certain Sinatra-ish quality to his voice...so even though it's not the version of the song I was originally looking for, this is definitely now well-loved. (Another one downloaded with Video2Mp3.)
I searched and searched and searched. There's a VERY close one to the version from the film, but still isn't *quite* it. I think it's by the same group, but it still a different version. If anyone should have the version from the film, please please please let me know! This is the closest I turned up:
