We're on countdown, dear reader. For tomorrow, at the crack'o'doom we'll be off to the (hopefully) sunny delights of Andalusia once again!
There will probably be a whole raft of birthdays we'll miss while we are away, but there's an artist very dear to our hearts who has a special one coming up - Spain's finest, Señorita Mónica Naranjo, our Patron Saint of power-vocals, who will be 50 years old on 23rd May.
By way of a tribute, here's an overlooked slice of brilliance - her cover of vast improvement on a song originally recorded by none other than Kim Wilde...
Next up, a battle-of-the-divas on a gay anthem. Señorita Naranjo wins!
Remarkably, our girl even tackled one of the grandest of operatic arias:
But, to finish, I had to play one of our eternal "house favourites" - it got another airing at our Eurovision after-party on Saturday, ¡por cierto! [And no, I don't give a damn that this might be the zillionth time I've posted it...]
Amor y lujo
Cuerpos de gloria
Grandes historias
Queremos más, queremos más!
...which tranlsates as:
Love and luxury
Bodies of glory
Great stories
We want more, we want more!
Indeed.
Many happy return, Mónica Naranjo (born 23rd May 1974)!
Now I love that music and I was on familiar with her. But I'm not now!
ReplyDelete¡De nada, querido! She's utterly fab... Jx
DeleteWishing you blue skies, sunshine, and lots of good food and good times.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do hope so - and if you're in Benalmadena Costa any day between 18th and 24th May, we'll most likely be sat in the sunshine in Palm 5 Beach Bar on the Paseo! Jx
DeleteHave a lovely time, Jon!

That's the plan, Ms Scarlet!! Jx
DeleteHope you enjoy your hols. It was pissing it down this morning in Sitges, it cleared up about 2pm, lovely blue sky, the same is expected tomorrow and Thursday, nicer weather where you're going. Jealous.
ReplyDeleteDon't be jealous, Mitzi - Sitges is gorgeous, come rain or shine!
DeleteWe are looking forward to discovering Cadiz and Jerez, however, two cities we've never visited before (as well as moseying around Seville when we arrive, and of course, a week in the joys of the Costa del Sol after all that)... Jx
Well, I'm giving Scarlet a hand to post/comment in your absence.What could possibly go wrong? Salut!
ReplyDeleteI wait with bated breath, Dinah, to read Scarlet's epic ten-day blog challenge, and all the comments thereon... Jx
