2012: Paul McCartney gets owned by 55-year-old Four Lads recording

From Stirred Straight Up:
Before striking it big on their own, Canadian harmony group The Four Lads
sang backup for Johnnie Ray. We assume it's from Mr. Ray that the Lads
learned the pleasures of lounging, bottoms up, whilst studying makeup ads.
You're on your own, pal, if you think you can cover Barbra Streisand's People or Andy William's Moon River or even Dean Martin's Let It Snow better than they did.
     Same goes for the 1957 claim that the Four Lads made on Frank Loesser's More I Cannot Wish You from Pal Joey. AKSARBENT loved the Beatles, but Jesus Christ, Sir Paul.

    No, not at all.
    Paul brings much more warmth to the meaning of this song than these fellas.
