Name that tune

I was looking for a certain Burt Bacharach album and came across "Painted from Memory: Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach." Curious, I downloaded it and discovered this beautiful beautiful song. It's called "The Sweetest Punch."

Speaking of songs, my family (except me) launched into a big argument about the song "Alone Again, Naturally." My dad and brother insisted that The Beatles had a version, whereas my mother adamantly refused.

"The Beatles will never sing anything so baduy! No no no."
"Eh vinivideoke ko yan eh!" (My dad)
"Basta no. That's Gilbert O' Sullivan and it's one of the worst songs. Ever."

If we weren't on the beach, I'm sure it would have escalated into an ugly fight.

Naturally, my mother won.

mika! you have to hear the entire album of bacarach/costello. pang-sawi siya grabe. every single track pangluhaan, tapos yung last track, "god give me strength" ang pinakassssolid sa lahat.
