Is This The Way To Amarillo?

After seeing the hillarious parody this morning on Rocketboom by Staff Sgt Roger Parr and the Royal Dragoon Guards tank regiment in Iraq OF British comedian Peter Kay's "Is this the way to Amarillo?" music video done for British Comic Relief in March I couldn't get this song out of my head and so resolved to track down the original video. Well I found it, and I hope you like it. :)

Just so you know the song was written by Neil Sedaka. This version was recorded in 1971 by Tony Christie and is currently number one in the UK.

On a side note I also happened to find this nice little version that sounds like it's done by a marching band. It seemed so appropriate I could not, not post it. Enjoy: Amarillo.mp3 (2.8mb/3min)

And BTW, Happy Memorial Day weekend.
