What are you listening to right now ?

It's making me want to find a seductive Church Incense fragrance to wear for late Summer. Or perhaps L'Artisan's "Mechant Loup" for Autumn. The video is scaring me, as well! Since I love vampire, voodoo and werewolf movies...I guess like being scared! Where is that protective amulet when I need it?

It's not the tune, my babies, it's that damn video. Pretentiouscakes, indeed. Either that, or extreeeeemly tongue-in-cheek, right? I'll go with the latter.

Embraceable you sung by Ella Fitzgerald

No love for sad naked guy?



This might be more to your liking, Dulce. Love the line about Tito Puente.

Hahaha!

Is it fair to say you can judge the pretentiouscakes of a video by how many parodies are made of it?

And for that one, there's like a hundred million! Ahahahaha!!



Plus, I'll be honest, watching his mouth move is like torture to me. Not sure why. Some songs are just better without a video.

Ella is my girl!

I'll see your "Embraceable You" and raise you some "Stompin' at the Savoy." There's such a wonderful build to this song. And she and Louis are a match made in Heaven.

If you're going to do Ella I'm doing Della.

Della was HUGE when I was a kid!! She could give a master class in sass, that one! Love her!

I never get tired of Ms. Lee. That eyebrow lift on "can" alone is worth the price of admission.

I love this article about the pianist.

Lovely article, Cryptic. I like stories about old people in love.

I love the comment that the Youtube poster highlighted.

"I was home from the Nam, alive and living large."

Really puts things in perspective, doesn't it?

I love authentic Gypsy Flamenco. Incredible fiery passionate virtuosity!

The brilliant musical love child of Prince and Michael Jackson who lit up the late 80's with his Hardline, giving them both a serious run for their money, and then for all intents and purposes vanished shortly thereafter. The whole album is so great, it's impossible to pick just one song to share. How many records can we say that about?

And easily the best cover one could imagine, and wiping the floor with Mr. Robinson (sorry, Smokey):

I've been mesmerized by this video since it came out a few years ago. Dulce, don't even bother clicking, honey.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg5wkZ-dJXA

Well I had to click out of curiosity, of course. And yeah, blech, you know me so well.

See what you think of this. Not the goofy video -- the groovy little song.
