Whole Wide World

So how many of us have watched “Stranger than Fiction” starring Will Ferrell and Maggie Gyllenhaal? (And really liked the movie?!) And how many of us really liked the song that Will played on the guitar, “Whole Wide World”? OK, so I thought I’d try to listen to the song again so I headed out to YouTube. It really is amazing what you can find out there. So I found the song “Whole Wide World”… quite a few versions. And after checking them out it seems that a punk rocker called Wreckless Eric is who everyone was crediting with the song. I was pretty sure I’d heard the song before and NOT from a punk rocker like Wreckless Eric. So I did a Google on the title and I was RIGHT! While it was done first by Wreckless Eric, it seems it was covered by this group! And THAT’S the version I had heard before; it’s also the one that’s played in the move when Will stops singing.
