Dude, this has to be a Fletch reference, right?

Got to be.

I'm a fan of Morrissey's cover version:

An absolutely transcendent level of camp. Some things become so corny they're almost spooky. I love it the way I love the Sons of the Pioneers and the Ink Spots. They make it feel like I'm trapped in the bar at The Overlook Hotel.

I love 'Moon River', and I learned about it from Fletch.
I even like 'Old Man River'.

“Old Man River” is wonderful. The whole musical Show Boat is wonderful, for that matter.

Before yesterday, I’d never actually heard the famous Andy Williams version of “Moon River.” I like it, but my favorite version is the one I have on a Henry Mancini record. The first half is instrumental, and the second has vocals in that late 50s/early 60s pop vocal ensemble manner.

Audrey Hepburn’s version is also stunning.
