Inverted Pyramid of Piffle (US style)

Further to my post on transatlantic pleonasm - posted last October, and still requiring regular updating - probably the most clearly documented record (7" in this case, a No.5 in the UK ) of this seemingly insatiable need for linguistic encrustment comes from the category of transatlantic popular culture known as Easy Listening, subsection Knitting Pattern Model Style: Andy Williams' performance of Can't Take My Eyes Off You. 

Faithful to the song's actual title in 1967, but in 2002, this.
 
'Arf Arf'
