Reply to comment by CC_Andyman in TIL the song 'Seasons in the Sun' was originally written about a man dying of a broken heart while accepting that his wife cheated on him many times, and was written in a brothel in Tangiers by FarceMultiplier

I was only about 7 or so when I was often playing the 45 RPM of "Seasons in the Sun". I think I probably listened to the B-side twice and even as a young child I was thinking "what a piece of shit that is".

Seriously, was he thinking it was a comedy, tragedy, beer hall song? And to think he probably has other songs that "werent good enough" for the B-side.
