Today's Webtip: Ancient History

A little something you might not have seen before. Featuring Jacques Brel, Westlife, and Nirvana.

In 1974 Terry Jacks had a world wide hit with an english version of the Jacques Brel song "Le Moribund". It was called "Seasons in the Sun", and it never fails to make me get all mushy inside.

It's been covered by everyone and their mother, including such musical geniuses Westlife.

And Nirvana.

They messed about with the lyrics, switched instruments, and filmed the whole thing. It's lovely, if very lo-fi.
