PLASTIC BERTRAND - ca plane pour moi ( lost hit )

Hello and welcome back...Just outside the 80s was this strange song.
Sang by Belgian musician Roger Allen Francois Jouret ( aka Plastic Bertrand ) in 1978.
He started his career in music as a drummer in the band "The Bisons" playing Rolling Stone covers.








O.k here's the bad news, Plastic Bertrand didn't actually sing this, The song "Ca Plane Pour Moi" was recorded in a studio and was sung and produced by Lou Deprijck.
For his efforts "Plastic Bertrand" received only 0.5% of the song royalties (Milli Vanilli anyone )...Still its a great song and even better when had one too many to drink and you try to sing the lyrics...English translation is interesting... goes something like "Wham Bam my Splash Cat",  least everyone knows the chorus... Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo

PLASTIC BERTRAND  - ca plane pour moi



LYRICS TRANSLATED  (yes, its real) .. taken from spicks and specks TV show..many thanks

SHONA LAING - drive baby drive ( lost hit )

Hello and welcome back...This song taken from her 1987 album is one of my favourite songs, its the kind of song i could listen to at 1am in the morning driving down the freeway in the rain.
New Zealand born Shona Laing has the voice of honey, with lyrics you can sing to.
An excellent song.













"Drive baby drive" was taken from the album "South" and also includes the hit 'glad I'm not a Kennedy".
This album was re-released in America in 1988.

GLAD I'M NOT A KENNEDY
