FWIW...Whiter Shade of Pale is the most played song on British radio...it was also (supposedly) John Lennon's favorite (non Beatles) song....

On some versions there is an additional verse that is not included on many recordings of the song...

As the Miller told his tale

Her face at first just ghostly

Turned a whiter, shade of pale.


It’s still stuck
