Love Is All Around - Wet Wet Wet - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Wet Wet Wet's iconic reimagining of "Love Is All Around" cannot be divorced from the iconic movie that platformed it. Perfectly placed on the soundtrack for Richard Curtis's Hugh Grant-starring 1994 romcom, Four Weddings and a Funeral, the song took up residence at the top of the UK charts for 15 weeks and morphed into one of the UK's biggest-selling singles of all time. It was even given a festive makeover in 2003 for another Richard Curtis favourite, Love Actually, transformed into "Christmas Is All Around" and sung by the character of Billy Mack. This sweetly sentimental ballad was originally written by Reg Presley (who was inspired to write the song after hearing a TV broadcast of the Joy Strings Salvation Army band's "Love That's All Around") and first recorded by "Wild Thing" hit-makers The Troggs who released the track as a single in October 1967, when it sailed into the top ten in the US and UK.
