Love is Strange

One day, a strange little bird whispered unto me. It said "Hey you. Yeah you, the one with the shitty posture and the ketchup stain on his shirt. Listen up: Love is strange, many people take it for a game. Don't be a chump and don't get played."

This peculiar bird then flew off in the direction of the sun, leaving me to ponder its macabre warbling.

Love Is Strange by Mickey Baker and Sylvia Robinson(1957)
OG version. When I hear Mickey's guitar and Sylvia's lithe voice, it makes me wanna f... I mean, it makes me wanna proliferate the species in a profligate manner.

Love is Strange by The Everly Brothers(1963)
This version is dope, it just sounds like two out of luck blokes sitting in a basement-turned-teenage-hooky lounge discussing how they'd get their baby back, but little do these guys realize that womyns like jerks, not sweet, honey-voiced lads that can harmonize even when they're snoring. Lose the suits guys, and pick up some heroin and Happy Days on DVD and get to studying the Fonze.

Love is Strange by Sylvia Robinson(from the album Pillow Talk, 1973)
Sorta has a Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club feel to it. It's pretty unexpected for this time period and I really like it.
