Oz ,'First Date'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Dolly Parton did it better drama: Whiney Houston, “I Will Always Love You”
I like the Vince/Dolly duet version.
Diva drama: Brandy & Monica, “The Boy is Mine”
Or, if you want country diva drama, there's always Reba McEntire and Linda Davis "Does He Love You."
Velvet Wrapped in Cashmere drama- Raul Malo- "Unbreakable."
Thanks for your suggestions. I've made up a draft CD, we'll see what Wallybee thinks of it.
Does anyone have suggestions for some over-the-top melodrama?
It may be too heavy (some definitely are) but Within Temptation is very dramatic. They front a mezzo-soprano so some of the songs are somewhat operatic. Probably Memories, Jillian, Angels, Our Solemn Hour, Stand my Ground.
Cheesy drama: Air Supply, “The One That You Love”
I'd go with "Making Love Out of Nothing At All." Which was produced by Jim Steinman, so you have a double there.
You can also get the combined whammy of Steinman and Celine Dion if you go with "It's All Coming Back to Me Now."
Hee. I have indeed opted for "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" (bearing in mind that he can make all the stadiums rock), and included "It's All Coming Back To Me Now". You could just about fill the entire CD with Celine Dion, but the choice has to be her collaboration with THE STEINMAN.
I am fairly certain that the completely nerdy older gentleman who did sports info/stats at my college is Jim Steinman's brother. [link]
Phil Spector's mug shot: [link]
He looks like he lost his precious.
Okay, it's now official. The lead singer of Midnight Oil is "dead". In his place we have the douchebag politician, Peter Garrett.
Environment Minister Peter Garrett said he had "some sympathy" for Senator Brown's predicament.
"But at the end of the day, if you are going into the business of taking court action to challenge decisions, then you are bound by the decisions that the court makes," Mr Garrett said.
Senator Bob Brown faced being disqualified from the Senate if he couldn't pay a 240k legal bill and had to declare bankruptcy. The legal bill came from a failed attempt to stop logging in the Wielangta forest in south-east Tasmania. Logging in the forest threatens endangered species including the Wedge-tailed eagle, Swift parrot and Wielangta stag beetle.
