    SPONTANEOUS LUNACY VERDICT: 2/10

    A song dating back to 1937 I generally like in several versions.

    Sure,this Edna & Sonny outing isn't great but its a better than a
    meagre 2. I have it as a 5.

    How will Samp grade their "I Only Have Eyes For You" if he reviews the
    flip?

    Lastly,here's the Tommy Dorsey original 1937 version
