13 Aug 2014: it's... 1993
« on: August 12, 2014, 09:32:45 PM »
just as predicted: the year of Mrs Doubtfire. Vote early and often for Tina Turner's "I Don't Wanna Fight" (Thanks, Cap'n)

I should include Lulu's original version in a '93 set.

wow -- I knew she co-wrote, but didn't know she'd recorded it. Easily one of my fave 45s that year, and I was shocked that it wasn't nominated for the Best Song Oscar.

Lulu's version was the B-side of her single "How 'Bout Us" (a cover of the 1981 Champaign song).

 a relative rarity, if not a bustout, I'm thinking.  Not my fave of their oeuvre

ETA:she's played it 3 or 4 times, it turns out.

No kidding. Not too mention that this song was LN to me the first time I heard it (I have an aversion to covers that don't differ too much from the original).

Has "Walking In My Shoes" made an appearance. I'd agree that this is post-peak.

I kinda like Hothouse Flowers, but the repeating guitar line in this grates on me after the first couple bars, and then it never ever stops.
