Youtube is blocked at work, so I can't identify this. What is it?

Thanks for looking.

Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum

For the longest time I thought that was a Van Morrison song.

I can't think of it. It might be it. I'll confirm when I get home from work.

Wikipedia says:

Quote:

The Hammond organ line of "A Whiter Shade of Pale" was inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach's "Sleepers, Wake!" and "Air on the G String" but contrary to popular belief, the song is not a direct copy or paraphrase of any music by Bach,[16] although it makes clear references to both pieces. This similarity is referred to in the 1982 play The Real Thing by Tom Stoppard and the 1991 film The Commitments. A yet closer melodic influence that is seldom cited can arguably[weasel words] be found in the organ choral prelude "O Mensch bewein dein' Sünde groß" (O Man, Lament Your Sin So Great), BWV 622, from Bach's Orgelbüchlein (Little Organ Book). The music also borrows ideas from "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge.[17]

I'm thinking this is it

no no, it's all good. you roll your R's very well. Given that you're in Argentina that makes sense. I could never do this in spanish class

I roll my Rs fairly well. Just ask Jorge.

I just heard this on the radio today and couldn't remember what the name of it was.

I am kind of disappointed that nobody responded in audio.

This thread could have been epic.

Also, I have no idea what the song is. Plat, can you sing some more please? Perhaps another measure could nail this down

mick7184 · **Posted:** Tue Feb 22, 2011 1:47 am

I hate when you have to hum or sing with retarded lyrical interpretations to someone when you are trying to find out a song's name.
