This with out doubt is my biggest music moment of "Duh, what a dope!
I can't believe I didn't know this" of all time.
I've always loved the song "Venus" by The Shocking Blue. Who
wouldn't! Great guitar riff, cool vocals. I had the 45 as a kid and
naturally now have it on my MP3 player. I even sang along to it as a
kid, one of my top 20 songs as a kid. You know, as kid I even
imagined being the guy in Shocking Blue singing along. Great fun!
Only via Youtube I find out last night he's a WOMAN. OK, I realize
confessing this to a group of musically knowledgeable people may be
foolish. But man, I feel like I'm a new maybe slightly less twisted,
version of "The Crying Game"!!
The other Youtube moment...
I watched "Smile a little Smile for me" on Youtube. I watched it
twice. Only each version has a different lead singer but it's the
same vocals. I'm blanking (ARGGH) on the real singer's name (he's
also seen on Hitchin' a Ride by White Planes). I know YOU know who
I'm talking about.
But who is the guy pretending to be the lead singer? Anyone know? I
assume he one of the band members? Or does anyone know the
circumstances for "why" they did this? How common place was this for
someone to provide the vocals, sort of like a session guy and then
simply get out of the way "allow" someone else to fake it?
Still needing to regain my equilibrium,
Steve
