    For some reason, I would feel connected to my family again. Thank you for reminding of this...❤

    Awesome version. Thought it was the original or at least comparable.
    I always thought the scene in the movie was hilarious because this great voice obviously wouldn't be coming out of that big guy. When I was a kid and saw this on t.v my brother and I found it hysterical. A badly dubbed sweet voice coming out of this behemoth. Much to surprise it actually was him singing. Quite incredible.
    I noticed your version is actually a half step higher than in the movie too. Nice job. It sounds like an Irish lament.
