The Mumbles, two 17 year old friends of my daughter performing in my living room.

The strangest Cohen covers i've ever heard! Love the curtains though :wink:

The Mumbles? 'Mumbled In Love' perhaps :)

Can't have taken as long to make the curtains as it did to sing the song? Or can it? :lol:

Cheeky, 24 feet of material and pencil pleats. Took quite a while.

But not 10'32".
Love the pleats but that's skirting the issue and now I must draw to a close.

Patient: Doctor, I think I'm turning into a pair of curtains
Doctor: Pull yourself together.
BOOM BOOM

I know for a fact that Leonard Cohen is heavilly into curtains. In fact he even sings about them in his songs. "Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn"

My guess is that they were so pleased with how the curtains turned out that they just had to kiss them. I was quite pleased with mine, saved myself a fortune by making them myself, but I've never actually kissed them. I have had friends call by wanting to touch them though, now that they are famous and on YouTube.
