Yep. We were just getting used to the unexpected hazy warmth of another "Spanish Plume" (not quite another "Indian Summer" as there was too much low cloud, but close enough - it did hit 25C/77F, which isn't bad for London in October!), when bam! It's back to work time again. Sigh.
To bring us some cheer [fuck knows we could do with some, given the grimness of the world right now] on this Tacky Music Monday, how about the utterly bizarre spectacle of a Dutch huisvrouw-turned-singer, for some imperceptible reason singing a song all about Mexico, complete with cheesy dancers? [Love the old grannies in the audience!]
That'll do nicely (of course)...
Have a good week, dear reader.
Sorry you have to go back to work. Now that was odd. Loved the hula dancers. ¡Olé!
ReplyDeleteOr indeed "Hoi!", as they say in Dutch... Jx
DeleteThe ether is positively fizzing tonight! No ads for hernia supports (I thought the Truss slithered off into a bog somewhere?). No recipes for something I wouldn't feed to a pig. But among my goodies was something I thought you'd like, so I emailed it
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what you're on about, Dinah, but I did get your email. Haven't had a chance to look at it. Jx
DeleteNothing Tacky about that and I remember it being a firm favourite at every Cafe 't Mandje sing-a-long.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun and ok, a bit tacky.
Unless one is sat in Cafe ' Mandje or Cafe Montmartre after a skinful, joining the sing-song, it's tacky. Jx
DeleteYou're the only other person I know who despises Mondays as much as myself. So I can appreciate your un-enthusiasm.
ReplyDeleteWTF is there to like about Mondays?! Apart from Tacky Music, of course... Jx
DeleteNot all the grannies were in the audience.
ReplyDeleteLord alone knows how old she was when she was performing here - she'd been having hits since the late '50s, Reading up on her, she was quite a remarkable character - and even composed and sang a number that heavily criticised the anti-gay campaigner Anita Bryant, and gained herself the epithet "Mother of the Gays" in the process! Jx
DeleteAll good, Friday now!!!
ReplyDeleteSx
Hurrah! Jx
