I believe in miracles

The way he warbles 'I believe in miracles' is bad enough, but it grows even more maddening with each repetition.

[Ed's note ; For years I thought Errol Brown sang "I believe in Milko" !!]

Here's a question for all you girls out there.Would you want a guy who's self confessed girl crazy?No?Didn't think so.What was seeping into the brains of some of these song writers?Some sort of insidious,mind-altering gas or something?The guy in this number is positively reeking of desperation-Check out the first line I've picked.The second line I've chosen sounds totally insane,and the insanity in it speaks for itself.As for the third line,well,it just might be passing the second at the post.Actually the whole number contains some of the worst prattling that will ever assault your ears.He'll be your lover and friend to the very end-If you can't dance he'll teach you to dance in every way-If you're lonely for someone to love,then why don't you just come inside.[If that last line was delivered by a woman there would be yells about a double meaning from here to eternity.]If this joker ever does manage to find that proverbial girl as crazy as he is we're talking some kind of match made in the hatch.Before the prattling starts the number commences with the characteristic Doo-doo-doo-doo thing which seems to have been some kind of Hot chocolate trademark-It also features strongly in their other silly song You win again.With Girl crazy the opening hums are accompanied either by a soft whistling or some sort of similar sounding instrument and the effect is slightly freaky-If you ever get a chance to check that out you'll see what I mean.However,unless you want to be even more freaked out don't listen any further.Guys,I'll tell you,this dude babbles like the king of fools.Girl crazy?Mack, you sound crazy in all directions.

You win again has always sounded like one of those cosy,harmless and undemanding little numbers.You know?The kind of thing that you heard in the background on radios whilst on vacation say.It just seemed to add some tiny indefinable something extra to that holiday feeling.That's how I've usually recalled it.Lately that little thought crept back into my head,and one day out of interest I decided to take a look at the lyrics of the number.Get this,it reads like drunken insanity or something.[What?,you say aghast,You win again?Incoherent drivel?Surely not.]Point of fact the dude refers to himself in glowing terms like fool and loser throughout,and fears his life will now consist only of crumbling remembrances of what love could have been-That alone points to a screwed up guy-How do you recall things which MIGHT have been?He kicks off by saying he's made some big mistake with her,but we're not told what.He seems to think that admitting to mistakes,even one,is an affront to his pride-Still think this guy's playing with a full deck?He talks of being an idiot to have been with her in the first place,much of this relationship has,apparently,been conducted through the mail,and has also been very short lived-Your perfumed letters-Love had just begun.So,we're not even talking anything like a long standing relationship here.It's round about here in fact I start to suspect that the dude,and perhaps the lady aswell have totally lost the plot.He talks about her winning again.Just what does he mean by that?Some contest to find out which of the two is the more stupid?He talks about not being able to refuse her.Refuse her what?He's even talking about her return-When you come back.Like,out of a clear blue sky he's saying she'll soon be back on the scene.None of these strange statements are clarified.So,what are you left with?Lunatic ramblings.Actually he's got more prattling in reserve-And just for fun you took my love and run-When will the heartache end?-I'm the fool who won your love to lose it all.From this unfortunate fool's babblings it sounds very much to me as though we should get the guys in white to his residence as quickly as possible.They'll have to check out that lady too.[I'm afraid that so many of these great little numbers from yesteryear simply don't stand up to close scrutiny.You win again is,in a word,nonsense.]
