But in the UK will forever be associated with a toddler who died of liver disease and sparked a brief upsurge in organ donors. It was his favourite song.
Apparently Ben the rat was friendly to the boy in the movie-- can't say I saw it, but that song did get a lot of airplay back in 1972, when I was in junior high and Michael Jackson was still black.
It was sung as a song of love and devotion on Glee last night. And yeah, there was apparently a very touching bond between a boy and his homicidal (but not towards him) rodent.
I was probably not meant to get the giggles during that scene last night.
