Moondeaf

OK. So I'm in the mall and I hear on the speaker a “Ratpack”-style version of “Moondance,” complete with jazz orcheatra. It seemed a good idea, but a listen to the sweet-voiced singer, who I think was Michael Buble, left me wondering what the rush was about. He was pushing the tempo without reason and sang as if he didn't care what he was singing about. as long as you could turn the song into another cliched finger-snapper. Basically, it lacked soul. If you want “Moondance,” queue up Van Morrison.
