"My Funny Valentine" is a show tune from the 1937 Rodgers and Hart musical Babes in Arms. It is now considered a jazz standard, appearing on over 1300 albums performed by over 600 artists. --> from www.wikipedia.net

wow, so am i the 600-something artist to make a rendition of this song? hahaha...

I seriously wouldn't have noticed that it was Valentines Day last Feb14 coz im usually confined in my "studio" all day, not leaving the house nor watching TV... if not for a friend who invited me to play in their Valentines party that night. la lang.
in 2005 i made a Chillout Electronica version of "My Funny Valentine" inspired by Chet Baker (who was the one responsible for this song's fame), but that version kinda sucked.
so this time, a tribute to my ongoing anti-social life.. i made this emo (cough cough) rendition of "My Funny Valentine". i usually dont want to label "emo" on any of the music i do, but haha i asked my friends to listen to it first and asked them which genre would it fit, alas they said it. i would probably just say alternative rock or something ^_^

so anyway... let me know what you think ok.

                     
My Funny Valentine

My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day

hey hunn! haha. i'm soo over emo and valentines, which is, by the way, a dangerously deadly combination if i may say so ;P but this version is better than chet baker's! you haven't lost your touch in making great song renditions regardless of genre! how's the anti-social life treating you these days?!
