Sentimental Day Journey
Earlier this evening I turned on the TV at the end of Cold Case. I don’t watch this show so I don’t know if this is standard procedure, but they were showing a montage of muted scenes. I guess the mystery had been solved and we were seeing, but not hearing, people’s reactions. Instead of dialogue, a song softly played setting the mood. I had closed captioning on so I could listen and watch the lyrics of Sentimental Journey. At first I thought the singer was Doris Day, but then I thought it was a singer trying to sound like Doris Day. I couldn’t decide which.
OK, what can I say, I’m weird, but I wanted to know. I fired up iTunes, went to the online store and searched on “Sentimental Journey Doris” and found 5 or 6 songs. I wanted to listen to the 30-second preview of the song to see if I could tell if Cold Case had played a Doris Day version of the song or a Doris Day-imitator version. I listened to each of the songs iTunes found, but all that played was the instrumental background-not a peep of Doris. How dumb is that!?!?! If I was interested in purchasing the song, I would want to hear the singer and the song’s presentation, not just the instrumentals.
As a result I don’t know who was singing the song, I’m annoyed at the stupidity of iTunes, and I’m not interested enough to do any further research. Maybe somebody else will be more intrigued so I’ll see the answer somewhere. But get real iTunes!
