You've only got a few years before the Tim Lawrence book on it comes out.

I'll repeat my caption, because I thought I was so funny the first time:

"That'll be one sugar".

Dan, is that group in any related to Amin Peck, or is that accent just a normal 'italo' thing? It also sort of reminded me of Delanua's 'How Many Fill.' At least the voice.

I thought the clip was great! I'm listening to it right now. This stuff is Limewire-able, yes?

I don't think that group is related to Amin Peck. I'd assume it's just an italian accent, or a popular way for people to sing during the period. I'm not a big fan of that song, or any of Scotch's vocal stuff I've heard, I just thought it was a ridiculous video.

anyway...

It's great in an awful kind of way. Actually no, it is just plain awful.

Wait, let me watch it again...

No, I still love it. Especially when that red-mulleted guy goes "Baby!".

Dudes, this is more fucked up

that first video is hilarious and great! if only all music videos were that playful and silly.

I think that both of them are amazing for exactly the same reason. They're dumb and playful. Bad. But fun! And it's all about fun.

Also, in the second one, the singer pronounces the '-ed' on the end of 'yellowed,' which makes the whole thing sound even more ridiculous.

I'd assume it's just an italian accent, or a popular way for people to sing during the period.

the vocals in Scotch remind me a bunch of the male singer in Lime too.

who were from Montreal, so yeah, a singing style of the time

I hope the hospital made sure to sack that doctor for the patients' sake....
