This isIsrael Kamakawiwo'ole's version of the classic song - it's been featured on the Galloway show a fair bit recently. I was thinking there's probably loads of other cover versions, so I'll try and find a few.
Nice one! I love this version, although I'm a very pedantic bitch so I can't help but point out that it's actually an amalgamation of both Over The Rainbow and Wonderful World - 2 for the price of 1.
Here's Eva Cassidy's version, which is amazing towards the end. Gets me every time.
