No biggie.

What do you mean "Turning"?

It's been surprisingly solid. Right from the start.

More about Viktor Lazlo... Nowadays she mostly sings jazz covers - and wrote a novel about Billie Holliday.

She just released in January a new novel about both Atlantic slave trade and the Jewish Holocaust.

I must admit that I'm impressed. I won't be embarrassed saying that I have much respect for Viktor Lazlo's career!

I was sure it was Etienne Daho. I really liked him in the middle of the 80s. But I surely would be embarrassed today to say that I think that this track is a quite clever electro-pop song that I like for the most parts...

(And there is Lio in the video clip!)

Ah, let's have some more Lazlo...

Etienne Daho walked that fine line between Marc Almond and Leonard Cohen.

Toxic is one of my "mains" when I do Karaoke.

Basically if you give me two Gin and Tonics, I will likely do:

Toxic - Britney Spears
Never Tear Us Apart - INXS
Lately - Steve Wonder

Three G&Ts:

Dammit - Blink 182
Possum Kingdom - Toadies
Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinead O'Connor version

"One of those nights":

Mack The Knife - Sinatra Style
Interstate Love Song - STP
Heaven Is A Place On Earth - Belinda Carlisle

Toxic is without a doubt a great song!

I had posted only one earlier. 'Hero' by Chad Kroeger. I don't think that song was ever popular. But since Britney Spears is starting to appear why not Hilary Duff? Hilary Duff was never as successful as Britney ever was.

I like this very much.

This one looks like a cheat. When you are associated with James Bond you automatically become hip and cool. But i am guessing that quite a number of people people don't know about this. So 'uncool' and 'not hip'.

Wait, people are embarrassed by liking Huey Lewis and the News!?

I was stoked to see them in concert last summer.

I take back my words. Just being associated with James Bond does not make it cool. I think most people don't like it.

I must admit i quite liked it when i was younger. Not so much now. But i still don't hate it.

Oh no, Huey is cool, I just thought the song fit this thread.
