Frank's favourite

Frank Sinatra's favourite song - according to Paul Harkin.

Paul Harkin requests a particular song.

"The song," Sean says, "is one that is Frank Sinatra's favourite song, according to Paul Harkin. It's not by Frank Sinatra, but it's his favourite song. Any idea what it is?"

"I left my heart in San Francisco," says Eddie Mahon, "is Frank Sinatra's favourite song - sung by Tony Bennett."

"No," Sean says, "although I see where you're coming from."

"His favourite song is one by the Beatles," Bill Brown says.

"You don't say which one! But I think I heard Frank Sinatra introduce Something, as the greatest love song ever written, but that's not the song according to big Paul Harkin."

Patrick Parsons, says, "I think it's a Dean Martin song."

"Not a Dean Martin song, but all will be revealed shortly."

"Is it by the Beatles?" says the wee car park worker.

"It's not a Beatles song, no."

"Was it Grandad, by Clive Dunn?" says John the Quiet Listener.

"I don't think so. Now just before I mention this, I want to say that Paul Harkin is the former barman. Just in case people shout at me in the street. This is what he says is Frank Sinatra's favourite song. "

Sean plays By the Time I get to Phoenix, sung by Glenn Campbell.

With music from Queen, The Saw Doctors, Darts, George Jones, and more.
