The Almost Famous Kirk Llewellyn of the band Levittown Highlanders performs Wonderful Tonight with Mr Bogus at the Herbert Hoover Elementary Christmas Party 2007. "Wonderful Tonight" is a song written by Eric Clapton about his then-love, Pattie Boyd. It was included on Clapton's 1977 album Slowhand and released as a single the following year. While generally regarded as a romantic song, "Wonderful Tonight"'s genesis was less than starry-eyed lyricism. Clapton's inspiration came as he grew impatient for Boyd to finish dressing for a party. In that regard, the lyric "You look wonderful tonight" could be interpreted less as a heartfelt compliment and more as a prod to be finished getting dressed. Nevertheless, the subsequent lyrics grow more patient and loving. The song is a narrative, dealing with a party the pair attended. Each of the three verses is a scene from a part of the night: preparing for the party, going to the party, and coming home from the party. In each scene, he mentions how wonderful she is: how beautiful she looks while preparing for the party, how happy he is to be at the party with her, and how grateful he is that she puts up with him after he drinks a bit too much. The world may never know the identity of the girl Who inspired Doug Fieger of The Knack to write the one-hit wonder "My Sharona" (although it's safe to wager that her name was Sharona), but we do know Pattie Boyd, the early Sixties British "It girl" whose profound beauty so besotted the esteemed guitarists (and husbands) George Harrison and Eric Clapton that they penned enduring classics such as "Something," "Layla," and "Wonderful Tonight" as paeans to the way they she woo-wooed them.

I guess you don't have to worry about running up your bar tab when you play the elementary school party. :) I should talk-- my last time peforming live was 3 yrs ago with my daughters 5th grade choir. I always liked this song. Tell Kirk & Mr Bogus 5*
