It's Ringo Starr now, whereas the original was done by Dustin Hoffman (I think).
It was definitely Hoffman in the original airing.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I stand corrected! The reviews on Amazon confirm your memories.

I remember narration on the album, too, but cannot at all remember if that was Hoffman too. If it is, I wonder if it's some kind of rights issue that led to the change. Or if Ringo did it for an English airing at some point, which would also make sense.

The narrator on the original album was Nilsson himself. I have a copy in front of me so I know I'm right this time! ;)

OK, that makes sense. I only saw the special once, years ago (though I bought the DVD for my sister), but I'd listened to her copy of the album MANY times, and didn't think Hoffmann sounded right for the LP.

Hugs erinaceous for giving Fiona.
I had no idea she had anything in the works. I mostly always forgot to check. Squee!

Er, I have CDs that I've been meaning to send to Jon for well over a month now. Hey Mr. B., can you send me your mailing address again? Profile email is good.
