Thanks to my Dad, I now know who sang the song from the Dutch insurance ad I posted about a month ago. The song is 'Come Wander With Me' by Bonnie Beecher and it was originally performed in an episode of the Twilight Zone (pictured above). It was also featured in the infamous film The Brown Bunny; according to many critics the worst movie ever shown at Cannes.
Some more trivia about Bonnie Beecher:
- Bob Dylan's girlfriend in 1961 when they went to the University of Minnesota
- Inspiration for Dylan's song 'Girl From the North Country'
- Is still married to Wavy ("What we have in mind is breakfast in bed for 400,000!") Gravy, the MC of all three Woodstock Festivals
- Starred in an episode of Star Trek. For the geeks out there, it was the one where the crew found themselves teleported into the centre of the gunfight at the OK Corral. It's probably safe to assume that she played Kirk's love interest - every woman who appeared on Star Trek played Kirk's love interest.
Anyway, you should probably downl... buy the song for yourself. Very eerie but quite beautiful too.
You can see the ad I'm talking about here.

Ahhh... but Bonnie Beecher actually changed her name to Jahanara Romney later in her life. See http://74.52.77.196/dok/who/b/beecherbonniejean.html

NOT!
She was Chekov's love interest.
