Movie Song of the Week: "Wishin' and Hopin'"

In honor of the late Hal David, a cover version by Ani DiFranco of one of his more famous songs. In case you don't recognize the origin of the clip, it's from the opening credits of the 1997 movie My Best Friend's Wedding. However, that is definitely not Cameron Diaz in the bridal outfit -- gracias a Dios.

R.I.P. Hal David

American songwriter Hal David, former songwriting partner of Burt Bacharach who co-wrote such famous tunes as "Raindrops Are Falling on My Head" and "Do You Know the Way to San Jose", finished his last composition this past Saturday at age 91.

He will be missed.
