0:03:45 > 0:03:47APPLAUSE

0:03:47 > 0:03:49We'll now move on to a song that's become a standard.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53It's much better to write a standard than a song that goes into the hit parade then suddenly disappears.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57Songs like Man And A Woman, Somewhere My Love - never went into the charts,

0:03:57 > 0:04:01but they'll sell more records and more sheet music over the years, than anything else together.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03But occasionally a song goes into the charts,

0:04:03 > 0:04:07goes into the charts and becomes a standard and this is one of them.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Whiter Shade Of Pale as performed by the Procol Harum.

0:04:38 > 0:04:43# We skipped the light fandango

0:04:44 > 0:04:48# And turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

0:04:51 > 0:04:54# I was feeling kinda seasick

0:04:57 > 0:05:01# The crowd called out for more

0:05:03 > 0:05:07# The room was humming harder

0:05:10 > 0:05:13# As the ceiling flew away

0:05:16 > 0:05:21# When we called out for another drink

0:05:22 > 0:05:27# The waiter brought a tray

0:05:27 > 0:05:34# And so it was that later

0:05:35 > 0:05:39# As the miller told his tale

0:05:42 > 0:05:46# That her face at first just ghostly

0:05:47 > 0:05:52# Turned a whiter shade of pale

0:06:21 > 0:06:25# She said there is no reason

0:06:27 > 0:06:31# And the truth is plain to see

0:06:34 > 0:06:37# But I wandered through my playing cards

0:06:40 > 0:06:44# And would not let her be

0:06:46 > 0:06:51# One of 16 vestal virgins

0:06:53 > 0:06:56# Who were leaving for the coast

0:06:59 > 0:07:05# And although my eyes were open

0:07:05 > 0:07:10# They might have just as well have been closed

0:07:10 > 0:07:17# And so it was that later

0:07:18 > 0:07:22# As the miller told his tale

0:07:25 > 0:07:30# That her face at first just ghostly

0:07:30 > 0:07:35# Turned a whiter shade of pale

0:08:01 > 0:08:06# And so it was... #
