Closest thing to Crazy - help!!!
I think Katie Melua's debut is fantastic BUT
I can't help thinking i've heard it before I keep on hearing a woman singing it, in quite an operatic fashion, but with the chorus "This is the closest thing to heaven I have ever seen" I am convinced it is from a musical but my mind could be playing tricks!! Can anyone help? |

I know Mike Batt has collaborated with Andrew Lloyd Webber so maybe he's ripped off a musical number and hoped the pop fans wouldn't realise?

Closest thing to Heaven was a hit for the Kane Gange in 1984.
Is this what you are thinking of? Here they come A lonely boy and a lonely gir-ir-irl They can't say Where they're goin' Lo-onely... With no money to spend They can't sink Any-y lower Some people laugh all day Some people cry, cry, cry-y In the ni-ight This could be (this could be-ee) The cosest thing to heaven I have ever know-own (I've ever known) I've ever know-own Can't try Can't try-y a-any harder Whose turn is it now To win whi-ile we lo-ose Livi-i-in' Living at our expense While we discover Can't try, can't try-y Any harder This could be (this could be-ee) The closest thing to heaven I have ever know-own (I've ever known) I've ever know-own Hey, what you gonna do What you gonna do-oo Call me the king of foo-ools (Yeah) This could be (this could be-ee, yeah-eah-eah) The closest thing to heaven I have ever know-own (I have ever known) I've ever know-own, ooh-hooh-hooh-ooh This could be-ee (this could be) The closest thing to heaven I have ever known (I've ever known) I've ever, yeah... This could be-ee-ee **(This could be-ee) the closest thing [fade] **Call me the king of fools, call me the king of fools Call me, call me, call me the king of foo-oo-ools |

Nope, that's not it. I downloaded all the songs I knew with this in the title/chorus and it's none of them.
I definitely think its from a musical though my mind could have invented it!! |

As the foremost Katie Melua enthusiast on this board! I can confirm it is an original song, however it does have that Andrew Lloyd Webber sound to it.

Really dont like this song.
Just doesnt work for me Fair play to her for having creating a unique style and not going down the normal bore pop route though |
