Soundtrack of my week

A couple years ago, a friend made a mixed CD for us. We recently rediscovered it and have left it in the CD player at Page's request. A few of the songs have grown on me quite a lot.




(I had to not watch the video, as Ah-Kyung Lee's facial expressions were a bit much.)




"Raow Raow" by The Polyamourous Affair seems unheard of on youtube (and the internet in general)...


As does "In These Shoes" by Arturo O'Farrill & Claudia Acuna. However, here's a (far) lesser version by Kirsty MacColl: (this is the song that's been making Geoff and me giggle like teenagers all week long. Claudia Acuna puts the accents in all the right places!)








Page now quotes "Beard Lust" at random. It's hysterical.

(And now I must be off to homework. Yay.)

Oh now I do see what you mean about those facial expressions!

I had to share "In These Shoes" with a couple of friends who are quite the shoe hos. No, not shiv. I hope she sees this, though!

Theirs is the best version of the Flower Song I found (granted, I only tried five) in sound and voice quality, but good gracious! Definitely something to listen to on a different tab! LOL!

Isn't it great? The original is far, far superior. Acuna puts just the right emphasis on all the words, not to mention she can also sing better. When I rediscovered the song, I immediately thought of posting it and dedicating it to Shiv! The copycat will not do, however. ;-)
