Surely that should be `Nobody` not `No Body`
Incidentally, the blooper that really annoys me is Sinatra singing in `My
Way` `without exemption` when he means `without exeption`.
I know it had to rhyme but better to have rewritten the entire couplet than
commit such a sin. I realise that Frank didn`t write it (was it Paul Anka?)
but he had enough clout to get it changed.
