The vibrato on "only she could win" is superior in the rerecording, etc. I really over think this stuff. This is an incredibly sexy song and the line "her long flowing hair came softly undone" is just the best. I really don't care what people's sexual orientation is, but this song is a hetrosexual man's dream. So be it.
I’m with you on this one.
When my girlfriend’s ‘long flowing hair became undone’ I was in heaven...
