What takes "Moon River" from "great song" to "timeless classic"? We have several theories to discuss, and only one of them involves the essential bleakness of the Finnish. We also touch on lyrics that make space for interpretation, Judy Garland's inspirational pain, and Henry Mancini's spot-on conducting. Plus: Teddy Ruxpin gets pissed! Our intro is by Andrew Byrne, and our outro is by Jason Castro (yes, of American Idol). Want to request a song, ask for a birthday chart reading, or just say hi?
