And I couldn’t finish without a German connection.

“Cherry Blossom Avenue” in Bonn, Germany

[Howard]

Just glorious!

[Howard]

Could this be Mona and Lisa in disguise on a secret trip to Japan?

[Howard]

How about this!

Now, what would a Lisa “Blossom” Wagner mug possibly look like? Here is some inspiration perhaps!

[Howard]

This is my Mona “Bubbles” Wagner mug!

[Howard]

And how about some more!

If you don’t believe me, check this ‘mug shot’ out!

If “Wooden Heart” doesn’t make the grade, how about “She’s Not You”. I can just see the Twins doing a classic cover of this, complete with Mona’s trademark Elvis scowl with her curled lip while she swings those hips Elvis style.

Well you’re in good company with the motocross bike riding. The twins have been bike riders too. Don’t know if they still have theirs. May have traded them for guitars or drums perhaps. I’d rather see them concentrate on their music and not such dangerous pursuits as motor cycling!

[Howard]

Actually I can picture Mona on the tuba and Lisa on the accordion in a “Bus Stop” style video of this song. Now wouldn’t that be Oom-pah Fabulous!

“Treat me nice
Treat me good
Treat me like you really should
‘Cause I’m not made of wood
And I don’t have a wooden heart

Muss I denn, muss I denn
Zum stadtele hinaus
Stadtele hinaus
Und du, mein schat, bleibst hier?

There’s no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start

Sei mir gut
Sei mir gut
Sei mir wie du wirklich sollst
Wie du wirklich sollst
’cause I don’t have a wooden heart”

I don’t believe MLT have done an Elvis cover yet. I think this would be the perfect fit and I could well imagine Mona learning the squeezebox for the occasion!

[Howard]

Yes, that is very odd! Please don’t go there Lisa and Mona! Perhaps Elvis’s “Wooden Heart” in German would be an excellent alternative though!
