When I was getting the car out this morning, a line of a song went through my head: "I'm drinking sweet champagne, got the headphones up high" and thought "CHAMPAGNE ISN'T SWEET, STUPID, YOU MUST BE THINKING OF LAMBRUSCO". Then I remembered that the line was from "This Flight Tonight", and that although I've heard the 1973 heavy blues version by Nazareth, I had never heard the original by Joni Mitchell. So I've just found it and played it, and it's amazing, even though I'm not really a Joni Mitchell fan (whenever I think of her I think of the LOL hilarious bit from the Isle of Wight Festival where she is telling off the rioters). So perhaps I should listen to more Joni Mitchell.
I also played the Nazareth version, and that is amazing as well, in a different sort of way.
