Getting It Started
Question: Are you, the reader, familiar with both the recording artists a) Shirley Bassey and b) “Pink”?
If you are a member of that exclusive club, you would only be punishing yourself by not clicking “play” on the associated video.
Otherwise, you may still enjoy it, but you will sadly be unable to perceive the true levels of awesome presented here.
That song is made of awesome. I didn’t know the singer, but Zoe goes “You know, that sounds like a James Bond theme…”
So we looked her up. He gets a cookie.
I kept having to resist the urge to say ‘Goooooooolllldfinger!’
Ahh, very cool, I’ll have to watch on real speakers (laptop speakers don’ really cut it).
I hope I look that good when I am 70
Honestly, I thought that Shirley Bassey was 40 when she sang Goldfinger — her voice sounded too well crafted, and full, to be someone in her 20s.
I think we need a new word. “Awesome” doesn’t seem quite strong enough for anything that would prompt me to wait and watch on dialup.
Video – Pink/etc.
Howdy! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Visuals were stunning, vocals equally so – did you notice that where they “shred” Pink’s voice, Shirley just belted it out? How great is that – I even loved the James Bondish ending. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
I sure hope Pink enjoyed it too – flattery, and all that. Now if we could
see SB’s take on Pinks’ “you and your hand” – which I thought was “you and
your HAIR” for a few weeks. Kinda liked it better that way.
Oh well – we are finally moving!!! Friday! Stop by the new place in a
week or so, and bring Starr!
Until then, Chaos reigns supreme.
