Not really a sad song. Quite positive in fact, but there is a certain melancholy to the tune. Just brilliant!

Love Affair had a huge hit in 1968 with their cover of “Everlasting Love”. They also had a hit in the same year with “Rainbow Valley”, and yes, you guessed it, I think our favourite Twins could smash this one too. I would love to see their cover!

Yep, Jacki, truly awesome. A great parody of such a beautiful song David which, unfortunately, I am never going to be able to listen to in the same way again! “Oh, spoon, please let me taste this crème brulee. (Mmm, mmm!)”.

I’m afraid the search function is still not working for me Rudi. I have tried clearing my cache as follows:
If you haven’t done so already, choose to show the optional Develop menu by going to Safari menu in the upper left corner, choose Preferences > Advanced > “Show Develop menu in menu bar”, then close out of Preferences.
Back at any Safari browser window, pull down the “Develop” menu and choose “Empty Caches”
Wait a few seconds and the Safari web caches will be cleared completely, allowing fresh web content to be pulled from the remote web servers without having any local cache serving for that session
There is no confirmation or alert dialog notifying the user that Safari browser caches have been cleared or emptied, it simply happens behind the scenes. -
Playing nicely now thank you. “Oh Sweet Lorraine, a pretty nice girl, who follows her destiny, she’s not to blame, cause love is such a tricky game”!

Thank you Rudolf. Australia is 186-6. It’s 3.21am here!

Well, Tomás, personally I don’t know how the Twins could benefit, but you never know. It would have to be a collaboration in their interests of course. With John Sebastion, there was an obvious connection. I don’t think Bob Dylan would be a good match (good for marketing purposes though). Donovan would be a better fit.

Yes David, however it is most probable that they are identical twins. Apparently you don’t have to be perfectly alike to be classified as identical twins, and they have many similarities.

John, back on 04/04/2019 at 07:32 to be precise, you’ll find the Topic “Misheard lyrics”, where I think your post “You’d be amazed, hard to ignore” and “European Maids, hard to ignore” would sit perfectly!

I just discovered the link thank you, John. I can also recommend the link to “UK band MonaLisa Twins talk background, ’60s style songwriting, and new album ‘ORANGE'”, Guitar Girl Magazine, retrieved August 30, 2019, under Citations.

I’m not sure about a Wikipedia listing for them. There is an entry for a French group “Mona Lisa (band)” though.
-
“It actually sounds kind of cool to me when it sneaks through sometimes.” I couldn’t agree more. To me, their English diction is just about perfect, especially with their accent. I can actually understand them more clearly than the average English person. Nice to hear they have made Wikipedia. I’ll have to check their entry out!
-
Well, I can well understand the mistake, John. I always thought Mona was singing “You’d be amazed, hard to ignore”. Now I hear her singing “European Maid, hard to ignore”, with ‘Maid’ rather than ‘Maids’. Am I hearing this correctly now?
I’ll also go with your ‘premonition’ theory!
By the way, I have just watched a video of “Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel with the Monalisa Twins” and “Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)”. Not the best of recordings but a great opportunity to see the Twins in action live. They obviously enjoyed themselves on stage.
-
Yes, count me in too Skip. You’re not related to a kangaroo by any chance?

Thanks for sharing John. I too noticed a huge difference between first listening to “Starman” on an iPad and TV and then through headphones. It was only with the headphones that I really picked up those excellent bass lines, supported by Mona’s lovely drumming. Thanks also for the tip on “European Maids, hard to ignore” as I hadn’t picked up on this. I’ll have to listen more carefully next time.
