|
Bonjour Paris -
Ah, nothing beats cheesecake for breakfast! Doinky piano music backed by
gushy strings, all recorded in "360 Hemispheric Sound".
Choice cuts: Poor People of Paris, French Can-Can, The Left Bank
|
|
Around The World In 80 Days
- Cleverly combines the theme of world cities with hot air balloons. Well maybe
not the greatest cover this time, but really delightful music for once.
Choice cuts: Around The World Overture, Passepartout, Invitation to a Bullfight
|
|
Latin Escapade - "Music that
suggests the darkest corner of a smoky bar..." Where the girls wear terry cloth
dresses trimmed with dingle-berries. Still this cover would have worked if the
couple in the background would have ignored the photographer.
Choice cuts: Watch Your Step, Anitra's Nañigo, Poodle Mambo
|
|
Mr. Magoo In Hi-Fi - Look, Magoo is dressed eerily like Thurston Howell III.
(As The Disney said, It's a Strange World After All). Hip word jazz and
cool rhythms from 1956. Oh Magoo, you've done it again!
Choice cuts: Very Contrary Mary, Le Jazz Warm, The Little Miss Muffed It
|
|
Down To Eartha
- Deep into her Bad Lady persona by 1955, Eartha strikes a challenging, sexy,
and classy pose all in one. Her voice and delivery must be experienced - seek
it out.
Choice cuts: Oh John!, I Wanthca Around, and personal fav, The Heel
|
|
An Enchanted Evening - Is it
just me or are your eyes drawn to the lady's butt too? I figure they got that
effect by having her sit too far away from the guy to begin with. Nice work.
Choice cuts: Getting To Know You, Oklahoma, Some Enchanted Evening
|
|
Music To Lure Pigeons By - If
you collect "Music To ..." and "Music For ..." records, then I know you're lookin'
for this beauty. At night, after his radio show, "Night People", Father Robert
Owen digs Chicago-style jazz on the side.
Choice cuts: Squeeze Me, Fidgety Feet, Night Pastor Blues
|
|
Teen Age Dance Party - Gee I feel
swell since my lobotomy scar healed up! I can hardly wait till the music starts!
Note the couple in the background wearing "dungarees" - this was before jeans were invented.
Choice cuts: C-Jam Blues, Wiggle Walk, Pony Tail
|
|
Spectacular Accordions - And you
probably know just how spectacular accordions can be. Another miniaturized lady cover,
this time wearing white heels and grooving to that spectacular accordion beat.
Choice cuts: The Hot Canary, La Cucaracha, and Under Paris Skies
|
|
Havana... 2 A.M. -
A pretty girl, an acoustic guitar, a bottle of wine - of all the simple
joys we know, what surpasses these?
Choice cuts: Malaguena, Bolero Mallorquin, Rosita
