But one piece of good news is that Burt Bacharach is, as of this writing, still alive.

Not that he shouldn't be but he will be turning 92 in May.

And I'm presuming that he's a good person. I hope so.

I always thought that his theme song for The Blob (a favorite movie) was his first ever song but it appears to have been preceded at least by "The Story of My Life", if not also another song or two.

But "The Blob" is the one I care about it. Of course you know it, but here it is just in case.

Now that you've refreshed your memory, take a listen to La Burbuja by Liberación.

It's the same song with different lyrics.

Believe it or not, this was not even the least important thing I was thinking about today!
