Ugh, this is only my third post this month! I was going to kick ass as be all prolific this week but I am currently ill. I have the flu, possibly of the swine variety. It’s not fun. Right now I’m functioning on Sudafed alone. I got so much of that shit in me that you could cook meth from my blood.
However, I am a many of my word and promised more ridiculous Moroder insanity this week, so here it is.
Giorgio Moroder & Joe Esposito – Solitary MenSolitary Man
Show Me The Night
My Girl
Too Hot To Touch
Diamond Lizzy
Washed in The Neon Light
A Love Affair
Nights in White Satin (has a skip in the first minute, sorry!)
Lady, Lady
White Hotel
To Turn The Stone
I was presented with quite the moral quandary with this one. This is NOT a good album, in fact, it’s quite awful. However, it is very hard to get in America and it is excessively weird and of note for a number of reasons. For that I feel it is worth posting and talking about. However, I can not downplay just how awful this record is. If you don’t recognize either of the people responsible for it then I suggest moving along and coming back later in the week. Otherwise…
If you’re a regular visitor to this blog then you probably know who Giorgio Moroder is. I talked about him briefly in my last post and I will once again point those who want to know more to his Wikipedia page.
But who is Joe Esposito you ask? You fool! Why he’s only the singer/songwriter behind the best non-Rocky sports movie montage song of the 80s! That song is of course “You’re The Best” from The Karate Kid, a ridiculous piece of motivational tripe that should be on your iPod’s workout playlist.
I have more to say, but I’m very tired, so screw it. Sorry.
PS: “Lady, Lady” is fucking gross.
Lady Lady is from Flashdance or something, right? I remember my little sister playing that in her room sometimes, serious blast from the past.
Yeah, "Lady Lady Lady" was included in Flashdance as well as the soundtrack.
He was also a member of Brooklyn Dreams, who did "Heaven Knows" with Donna Summer.
I don't get the negative comments about "Lady, Lady". It's not gross, it's one of my favorite tracks from the Flashdance soundtrack, and Esposito's vocal performance is very good.
