George Bugatti takes a shot at 'Two Shots Of Happy'

You may remember us reporting that, contrary to rumours that they're suing her, U2 have given Nancy Sinatra the green light to record the song they wrote for her dead dad.

Well, Nancy has been gazumped by jazz singer George Bugatti who, courtesy of an encounter with Paul McGuinness, has included it on his new album, A Night For Romance.
Asked about 'Two Shots Of Happy', the Californian says: "It encapsulates Sinatra's life. It has a little bite to it, some serious emotion.

"I have a Sinatra vibe in my music," he continues. "It's in the phrasing, the song selection."
He's right about the encapsulating part, with the lyrics including such couplets as: "I'm just a singer, some say a sinner/Rolling the dice, not always a winner/Don't try to think about what we might have had/Just two shots of happy, one shot of sad."
