Has anyone else noticed how many of Terry Pratchett's novels reference Margaret Whiting's song "Faraway Places"? I've long been seeing them in the Discworld novels and have just read Dodger, where it crops up as well. A wonderful track.
It's referenced in Moving Pictures. Just found it while listening to Mark Reads. :)

"You" appears, clearly, to be
spoken from the Wintersmith's POV and addressed to Tiffany.
I don't think it was a coincidence that it made me shudder. Love it! :)

Where can I get the album, apart from online?

It's funny - when this comment was originally posted, I couldn't think of any cases of this song. But the post has sat in the back of my mind and I've now seen the quote (or variations of it) in several of the books. :)
