None of those screams A side to me. Lord Bateman would be a cool flipside, as long as they can keep vinyl background noise to a minimum. Jules |

I'm a Dreamer.
It's on the fast track to being my favorite all-time SD song, particularly in versions without prominent strings, even though she rhymes "bookie" with "Kentucky."
Backed with the wonderful early demo of WKWTTG. It's her best known song and should be on the single for that reason alone.

Unusual in a Wimbledon lass, but natural in large parts of England. |

I think that's an inspired rhyme myself. Jules |

Unless we are looking at it from the wrong angle, and she pronounces "bookie" with a southern "U" sound. As in "Lor luvaduck Murry Poopins"

I think that's an inspired rhyme myself. Jules What always bothered me in that verse wasn't the (half-)rhyme but the use of the same phrasal verb ("put on") in two successive lines. I think this must have bothered Linda Thompson too, since in her version she changes it: I put a bet on with a bookie For a race they run over in Kentucky |

I'm really struggling to hear in my head a pronunciation of 'bookie' that doesn't rhyme with 'Kentucky'! Jules |

No End is my choice from the selection. Its the best example of her more cinematic narrative approach (It Suits Me Well being another good example). Her most powerful form, IMO.

In most parts of Merka, "bookie" rhymes with "cookie" and "Kentuck[y]" rhymes with the word Melissa Leo dropped at the Oscars last night.
I am also reminded that James Doohan (a Canadian) intentionally pronounced the word "Vulcan" so it would sound like "fookin'."

In my accent all those words rhyme! Err, except Vulcan. |

I'm now trying to do my best American accent, and bookie and Kentucky still rhyme. Oh dear. Jules |

Go listen to your Blue Moon of Kentucky record and then get back to me  Better yet, listen to the Everlys singing Kentucky or Bowling Green - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-QLh1OKVMgEdit: I just listened to Sandy again and even she pronounces those syllables differently ... |

Kentuck[y], luck, muck, f**k, struck, amok, pick-up truck
I'm going to be accused of wandering off topic, so I'll again vote for I'm a Dreamer backed with WKWTTG for Sandy's latest vinyl single. And Sandy does pronounce Kentucky with a lovely quasi-American accent, which is why it doesn't really rhyme with bookie when she sings it...

I never considered it a serious struggle for a rhyme, myself. Ken-too-cky wouldn't happen anywhere in the States - not even Minnesota! |
