    Probably one of the best known songs of all time, recorded so long ago with Stan Getz on tenor saxophone.

    Tall and tanned and young and lovely
    The girl from Ipanema goes walking
    And when she passes, each one she passes goes "aah"
    When she walks, she's like a samba
    That swings so cool and sways so gentle that
    When she passes, each one she passes goes "ooh"
    Ooh, but I watch her so sadly
    How can I tell her I love her?
    Yes I would give my heart gladly
    But each day, when she walks to the sea
    She looks straight ahead, not at me
    Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
    The girl from Ipanema goes walking and
    When she passes, I smile but she doesn't see, doesn't see

    Did she always perform in the style of a week 1 X-factor contestant with pushy and delusional parents?
