My parents loved Matt Monro, however even though I can see the appeal I find it a bit too obvious; nowhere more so than in Born Free which has been totally spoiled for me by its use in the advert, unfortunately.
Yuck. The song is about Big Cats in Africa, which is where I grew up, so the advert has belittled what this song is about, a celebration of what it was like to be a Lion in Africa and us anthropomorphising the experience.
