Frankie, I guess. 10cc made an even better song with that title though...

Celine Dion

I have no idea how that Jennifer Rush song goes (is it the same one later remade by Celine?). It wasn't as big a hit here as it was in England.

Same as Celine Dion, yes.

All bad. Even the Frankie one.

I got up to do the Huey Lewis version in a cambodian karioke bar and then found out there was a Celine Dion version.

the bit when they turned off the machine and someone came up and went "No! that ladies song!" will haunt me forever.

The Frankie one. Especially in one of its 12" versions which begins with a long, lovely orchestral part, over which someone (Morley?) intones a bunch of rubbish about how to pray that nevertheless doesn't spoil it.

King's X

I vote for the Frankie strictly because of the single sleeve -- the one that came with the white outer envelope with all the little pink crosses all over it, and then one tiny row of pink hearts in the middle?

Damn, I love all of the ZTT sleeves, come to think of it.

The song is crap though. But that long version at least has some of the old "epic" feel to it, which is more than the other two can say.
