I looked at many different sites to find this answer and from all indications Peabo Bryson is the writer and composer.  Hope this helps.

I was in the music section of yahoo answers and I found it. "Ooh La La" by Goldfrapp.

alright the lyrics were by Francis Scott Key however he wrote it as a poem on an envelope  the music/melody was an old English Drinking song so the tune to the star spangled banner is  "To Anacreon in Heaven"

"Funeral Blues" - W.H. Auden\n\nStop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,\nPrevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,\nSilence the pianos and with muffled drum\nBring out the coffin, let the mourners come.\n\nLet aeroplanes circle moaning overhead\nScribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.\nPut crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,\nLet the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.\n\nHe was my North, my South, my East and West,\nMy working week and my Sunday rest,\nMy noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;\nI thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.\n\nThe stars are not wanted now; put out every one,\nPack up the moon and dismantle the sun,\nPour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;\nFor nothing now can ever come to any good.

I used to go see a band called Kicking Train down at the Post Office.  Your question brought back some memories.

Adlestrop\n   \n \n  Yes, I remember Adlestrop -- \nThe name, because one afternoon \nOf heat the express-train drew up there \nUnwontedly. It was late June. \n\nThe steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat. \nNo one left and no one came \nOn the bare platform. What I saw \nWas Adlestrop -- only the name \n\nAnd willows, willow-herb, and grass, \nAnd meadowsweet, and haycocks dry, \nNo whit less still and lonely fair \nThan the high cloudlets in the sky. \n\nAnd for that minute a blackbird sang \nClose by, and round him, mistier, \nFarther and farther, all the birds \nOf Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. \n\nEdward Thomas
