Stock, Aitken & Waterman

I knew that Waiting For Tonight was a cover but had never heard the original before, what a bop!



Love the Eurodance production, it's giving me Gina G realness!

Can U Feel It and Love Is Alive (the snippets we played) are great. I still have the CD but I don't think I paid much attention to Waiting For Tonight at the time oddly. Love Is Alive is itself a cover - loads of people have done it.

Meanwhile, this is the version of Just A Little Bit Of Love I had from the time.



And the amazing Hi-Lux remix:

The 3rd Party album is a little too cheaply made for me. I am glad Maria said that most of the album was rushed out demos, though.

I didn’t know she also had a cut on the first Eternal album!
 
I asked ChatGPT to write me a song in the style of S/A/W

Verse 1: I was feeling low Life had dealt me quite a blow But then you came along And filled my heart with song

Chorus: You are the beat in my heart The rhythm that never stops You make my world go round and round Like a record on the turntable sound

Verse 2: Everywhere we go You're the star of the show There's a magic in the air That keeps us both there

Chorus: You are the beat in my heart The rhythm that never stops You make my world go round and round Like a record on the turntable sound

Bridge: I don't need anything else As long as I have you We can dance the night away And make all our dreams come true

Chorus: You are the beat in my heart The rhythm that never stops You make my world go round and round Like a record on the turntable sound

Outro: So let's keep on moving To the beat of our love We'll never stop grooving With you, I can't get enough.

Could be a bop!
 
And here's Bard's attempt - which let's just say...is not a hit

Sure, here is a song in the style of Stock Aitken Waterman:

Verse 1: I'm feeling lucky today, The sun is shining, And the birds are singing. I'm gonna take a walk in the park, And enjoy the day.

Chorus: I should be so lucky, To have you in my life. You're everything I've ever wanted, And more. I love you more than words can say, And I'll never let you go.

Verse 2: We've been together for so long, And I love you more than ever. You're my best friend, And the love of my life. I can't imagine my life without you, And I'm so grateful to have you in my life.

Chorus: I should be so lucky, To have you in my life. You're everything I've ever wanted, And more. I love you more than words can say, And I'll never let you go.

Bridge: I know we'll face challenges in our life, But I know we can overcome them together. We're a team, And we'll always be there for each other.

Chorus: I should be so lucky, To have you in my life. You're everything I've ever wanted, And more. I love you more than words can say, And I'll never let you go.'

Yeah, I think ChatGPT was more HitSAW than Bard.
 
Princess dropped a new song recently - the material's not quite up to the standard she deserves (she and her brother wrote it), but it is wonderful to hear her singing again. Now, where's that 10 disc '85-'90 box set?

 
I'm guessing there were lessons to be learned from all sides, but she did deserve better (and more success than just that first album). A potted history of Princess which shines a light on some of the challenges she faced from the start...

 
As alerted to by @nanafan in the Bananarama thread, this great unloved album turned 30 today!

Such an enjoyable record for me personally.
