Although there's been different songs that Gord has rerecorded (had different musical instruments the 2nd time around, but otherwise sang the songs over again with the same lyrics), in the remake of The Way I Feel, he actually adds lyrics at the end of the song. They go something like "Gonna spread my wings, "I'll fly away" (I don't remember EXACTLY how they went), but it wasn't done in the original.

This remixing is pretty common with songs nowadays (mainly the rappers), but I didn't know it had been done back in the 60's. Has Gord (or anyone else from that time) ever 'remixed' songs in this manner?
