72. “Whiter Shade of Pale” is a song by Procol Harum that was written by Gary Brooker, Keith Reid and Matthew Fisher. The song lyrics by Keith Reid read like a surreal film script, “We skipped the light fandango / Turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor / I was feeling kinda seasick / But the crowd called out for more / The room was humming harder / As the ceiling flew away / When we called out for another drink / The waiter brought a tray.” Even if you struggle to make sense of the lyrics, you haves to agree that it is a beautiful song.
