I’ve been playing CAN’T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD – Kylie Minoque. Number one hit in Europe. On the video Kylie is seen driving what looks like a yellow Lamborghini.



MAGIC OF THE BLUE – Blue Magic – sounds terrific on 12”



SEA, SEX AND SUN – Serge Gainsbourg. Canonised after his death by the French minister of culture Monsieur Jack Lang, the iconoclast composer, singer, film director and novelist was most famous for his duet with Jane Birkin, ”Je T’Aime …Moi Non Plus” but he also recorded with Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare, Dionne Warwick and Catherine Deneuve. He charted with songs about nazism, s/m, homosexuality, masturbation, oral sex and a track called Lemon Incest, sung with his daughter Charlotte. In 1977 he had a hit with ”Sea, Sex and Sun”, a sleazy-sounding bit of disco pop containing added ooohs by a typical sounding nymphette voice. - In 1986 Serge scandalised a young Whitney Houston on prime time French television by making a comment which contained an expression which made the budding diva scream out:”What did he just say!?”. The blushing host tried in vain to explain:” He just wanted to offer you a bouquet of flowers” which Serge interrupted with ” No, don’t translate me, I said I wanted to fuck her!”.



DON’T BOOGIE MR. TANGO – Ebony. Another piece of eurodisco 1977 style, as insanely cheerful as ”Pretty Maid” by The Pretty Maid Company.

[Boodikka]

Hi Jussi, Serge was indeed a piece of work. I remember he and Birkin doing that Playboy pictorial. Americans may know Birkin from two films released here, IF DON JUAN WERE A WOMAN and CATHERINE AND COMPANY.

This week's list:

1)On A Rien A Perdre - St. Tropez....my favorite song by them

2)Tell Me - John Davis and the Monster Orchestra....one of the first songs I ever spun

3)Fire Island - Dante's Inferno w/ Ron Dante'

4)Won't You Let Me Be the One - Michae McGloiry

5)I Need You - Sylvester....my favorite Sylvester song, also covered in a rap version by Joeski Love called "I Know She Likes Joe"

6)I Feel Chased (Tom Moulton Remix) - Donna Summer AG

7)Problemes D'Amour - Alexander Robotnik AG

Let's Get Together - Detroit Emeralds AG

9)Superslick - Wham US.....the American Wham, whose members never were caught in compromising positions

10)I Got To Have Your Love - Fantastic Four w/ Cleveland Horne AG

11)Key West - Kasso

And for the lizards:

1)La mer - Charles Trenet AG....the more I listen to this, the more I like it, by the end of the song he sounds like he is having a nervous breakdown

2)The Three Bells - Champagnons des Chansons...now THIS is cheese, this is brie, tilsit, roquefort...

3)Memories Are Made Of This - Dean Martin.....you have to love a man who appears to be sleeping through a recording session

[JussiK]

Boodikka please tell me who is Charles Trenet? I must get introduced to him, especially since he does a classy Mer.

- My lounge fave of the week: "House of Bamboo" by Earl Grant. This is a Club Montepulciano/Madame Jo Jo classic ( legendary London lounge nights), containing exited singing over feverish calypso rhythms and general bongo madness.

[Boodikka]

Hi Jussi baby! Charles Trenet actually wrote "La Mer", and I believe he was first to record it. He has always struck me as a poor man's Jacques Brel/Charles Aznavour. I'll add another bit of loungebait to my list: The original "Mah Na, Mah Na" by Piero Umiliani, also available on AudioGalaxy.

[JussiK]

Thanks for the info on Trenet - I'll start nosing around for him. - Fab that you brought up Piero Umiliani! The Mah-Na...track is as you may know originally from an Italian mondo movie SWEDEN HEAVEN AND HELL, a not too flattering 60's shockumentary about our neighbours that could not be shown in Sweden at all. Much of the flick is obviously fake as usual - a wicked Mrs. Gustavsson is a housewife who sneaks out in the afternoon to perform wild strip teases in bars - but you do get to see unwed mothers smoking cigarettes, the king of Sweden parading around, alcoholics eating shoe polish, an abortion clinic and secret same sex dancing parties. And think how all this is just a 30 min. flight away from where I live!

[Leanmean]

"Mah Na Mah Na"? The one that goes "Doo, Doo, doo doo doo. Mah Na Mah Na. Doo Doo Doo Doo.

Mah Na Mah Na. Doo, Doo, Doo Doo Doo. Doo Doo Doo, Dooh Doo Doo Doo Doo"?



Good grief people! Next we'll be talking about the music from that Alka Seltzer commercial where that big construction guy is chunking out concrete! Because you all are SO knowledgeable, I'm sure someone will jump to tell me what the name of that instrumental was! The words "Any Way You..." something or other come to mind, but I fog out. Damn gray matter fails me again!

"Mah-Nah-Mah-Nah" was the title, and it was recorded by the Dave Pell Singers, and later by The Muppets on The Muppet Show soundtrack. But I think the best version of it was by Lipstique (from "At The Discotheque" album), titled "Mah-Nah-Mah-Nah/Disco".

And you left out 8 "doo"s at the end of the lyrics quote!
