I was working on some Powerpoint slides a few minutes ago when my iPod decided to insert itself into my consciousness. It played "Crazy Love" by Brian McNight. Why do I even have a version of that song by him? It must've come off a compilation or soundtrack or something. It's a nice enough version of the song but I really have no idea where I got it.
... Insert pause while I look into the situation ...
Okay. I'm back. It's from a compilation I must've bought a few years ago (release date 2000) called "Heart of Soul" (Amazon link). Now that is an entertaining collection of songs. In more ways than one. 'Wonder why I bought it?
Anyway.
As soon as the song finished, my iPod presented me with "Crazy Love" by Lacy J. Dalton. Same song. Drastically different version. Heh heh.
And, I remembered that this had happened to me before. So, I went looking. Yep: last September. I ended up having four versions of "I Walk the Line" back then. I just looked through my iPod and found that I have three versions of "Crazy Love"...the two I already mentioned and one by Ray Charles with Van Morrison. Cool.
PS: Happy Birthday, Dad. Remakes of songs apparently prompt me to post on or near one of my parents' birthday. Odd coinky-dink, that.
