I can't stop listening to that. It's really hauntingly beautiful, isn't it? But I like the sound of the Spanish version a little better.

I've been listening to some AC/DC demos. This one (Dirty Eyes) sounds like a proto-Whole Lotta Rosie:

I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
a fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
and celluloid heroes never really die...


The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

Baby, Why Don't You Reach Out? / Light My Fire (1978) by Baccara, a Spanish singing duo consisting of Mayte Mateos and María Mendiola. This popped up in my YouTube recs some days ago and is easily my favorite Light My Fire cover, blending disco with traditional Spanish music.

I love this song by Maureen McGovern, Morning After. This was featured in a film called The Poseidon Adventure. I've never seen it, but it's apparently a disaster-type movie set on a ship. Anyway, great song.

Maureen McCormick also sang the theme to this short-lived 1979-1980 sitcom. She had quite a powerful voice and wide range.
