147. "Grace Kelly" by Mika [iTunes? Yes] {It may have charted, but my book only goes up to 2006, and that's when this song came out.}
His name is Mika. He lives on the second floor. He lives upstairs from you. Yes, I think you've heard him before. (Why? Because he sounds just like Freddie Mercury.)
If Freddie Mercury were alive in 2006 and had come out with a solo album, it would have sounded an awful lot like this. (Maybe. Who knows, maybe Freddie would have released an album of Don Ho covers. It's hard to tell with Freddie.)
I bought Mika's album, and besides "Grace Kelly," the song "Love Today" is also outstanding. There are several other songs which are also very good. I then bought his next album, and it wasn't nearly as good. I don't know if he's put anything else out after that or not. (I guess I could look it up, but I'm too lazy.)
It also helps the ratings of this song that The Wife also likes it a lot, and we sing along together when we hear it.
