To my ears this is the recording session for the single, but with only the voice mic picking up the guitar - the guitar channel is switched off. This is one of the 5 tracks that make up my top 3 songs ever (my top 10 has 25, so that is that).
When I was a young boy My mama said to me "There's only one girl in the world for you But she probably lives in Tahiti." I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world just to find her Or maybe she's in the Bahamas Where the Caribean Sea is blue Weeping in a tropical moonlit night Because nobody's told her 'bout you I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world just to find her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world To find out where they hide her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world just to find her Why am I hanging around in the rain out here Trying to pick up a girl Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears When there's girls all over the world Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere Underneath a tropical sun Pining a way in a heat wave there Hoping that I won't be long I should be lying on that sun soaked beach with her Caressing her warm, brown skin And then in a year or maybe not quite We'll be sharing the same next of kin I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world just to find her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world To find out where they hide her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world just to find her I'd go the whole wide world I'd go the whole wide world To find out where they hide her Yeah! Whole wide world Whole wide world
Thank You Will Ferrell for showing me this song
Pure heart and soul! Who says you need a lot of chords
to make a great song?
Such a brilliant version of such a great simple song.
This song is an anthem for my late brother. He was such a sweetheart & the song encapsulates his forays into romance.
A hidden gem of a song.
Wish RUclips had a LOVE button
I have been singing this song to my wife all day every day for a month so far!
I hope you got what you were after.
Harold Crick brought me here also. Love that scene
Indeed. I wish there was an uninterrupted recording of Farrell's version.
Harold Crick brought me here
Me too! I just came across that movie, and loved it. Especially the song.
isn't that the type of man we want to keep alive?
Choi Jay me too

Where is he now? Favorite version of the song btw!!
Pop perfection.
2 chords. Great melody. Great lyric. Attitude. The essence of great pop.
this isnt pop
Great song.
When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
"There's only one girl in the world for you
But she probably lives in Tahiti."
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her
Or maybe she's in the Bahamas
Where the Caribean Sea is blue
Weeping in a tropical moonlit night
Because nobody's told her 'bout you
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her
Why am I hanging around in the rain out here
Trying to pick up a girl
Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears
When there's girls all over the world
Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
Underneath a tropical sun
Pining a way in a heat wave there
Hoping that I won't be long
I should be lying on that sun soaked beach with her
Caressing her warm, brown skin
And then in a year or maybe not quite
We'll be sharing the same next of kin
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
To find out where they hide her
Yeah!
Whole wide world
Whole wide world
Bliss.
