Actually, the greatest thing I ever learned was garlic.

What is the origin of that quote?

[huladavid.livejournal.com]

Uh... It's from a Beatles song, but I can't think of which one. IIRC it was used in _Yellow_Submarine_.

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

Nope.

Slaps Forehead...

Here's the story

[skylarker.livejournal.com]

Eden Ahbez; He emerged to public attention around 1948, when Nat King Cole recorded his song, "Nature Boy," that told a fantasy of a "strange enchanted boy" "who wandered very far" only to learn that "the greatest gift" "was just to love and be loved in return."

Of course. I just watched 'Moulin Rouge' recently; but couldn't place the line.

Interesting...

I was mildly surprised by the connection (through Martin Denny) to Les Baxter. I have four CDs of Baxter's music.

Lovely quote <3333

I really love the Sinatra version, and Peter Cincotti has a very nice rendition of it as well. Of all the people who have done it, whose do you prefer? :)

[pegkerr.livejournal.com]

The first time I ever heard it was on the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, so that's the definitive recording of it for me.

I do really like Sinatra and Nat King Cole, too, though.

Funny...

...I was just thinking about _Moulin_Rouge_. I can't quite recall where the song was used in the movie (at the end??), but that doesn't surprise me. The "Roxanne Tango" number blew out several circuits in my brain

(Jeff Peasley & I were discussing movies the other day, and he VERY MUCH hates musicals.)
