I remember hearing that song so often. It is so nice someone made a submission out of it! I will admit that it's not quite what I thought it would be. Of course, there's nothing wrong with you changing a bit. You have such good focus here. There really have been too many variants of this to count.
This may be the first time I heard a musical variant. That was certainly fresh. It's softer than the original. I do, of course, like the original more. This is still quite good in its own right.
