Default Mecca

I just LOVE this wonderful hit from the early 1960's by Gene Pitney. I would like to see someone remake it!

Mecca
I live on the West side, she lives on the East side of the stree-ee-eet
And though they say that East is East and West is West
And never the twain shall meet
Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be
'cause that brownstone house where my baby lives
Is Mecca (Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) Mecca (Mecca, Mecca) to me-e-e-e-e-e.

Oh she's my dream goddess and her ruby lips are so div-i-ine
And though her folks say we're too young to know of love
I worship at her shrine
Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be
'cause that brownstone house where my baby lives
Is Mecca (Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) Mecca (Mecca, Mecca) to me-e-e-e-e-e.

Each morning I face her window and pray that our love can be
'cause that brownstone house where my baby lives
Is Mecca (Mecca, Mecca, Mecca) Mecca (Mecca, Mecca) to me-e-e-e-e-e.

(Sad to say, while searching this song I found out Gene Pitney just died a few weeks ago. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1609505/posts His music was very listenable. It does solve my question of his ethnicity. He was Welsh. RIP Gene Pitney.:cheers: )
