Rock Over Europe

Who wants some swingin' 50s-60s pop tunes from France, Germany, Italy, Norway....really, all across Europe? Answer: if you know what's good for you, YOU do. De Zwarte Moustachen, Brita Borg's Frankenstein Rock, Hawaiian War Chant from the Netherlands, and the loopy Chimpanzee Rock from the Hula Hawaiians (been looking for this one for a while!), it's ALL good. It's just been posted over at ManzeRock, get it while it's hot.

Lucky Blondo

Oh, those cute little sixties European boys and their groovy tight-pantsed twist songs....ooh, did I just say "tight-pantsed" out loud? The good-looking blog ...y yo que sé de eso..., livin' the vida dada, is just chock full of awesomely-awful-aweful sixties Continental twist pop tunes. I dig the music of Belgian (French?) rocker Lucky Blondo, particularly the war-whoopin' PC-less "Dix Petits Indiens", and "Dis Moi Oui". Oui oui, Lucky!

And you can even get a copy of "Go Kart Twist" from a compilation of Gianni Morandi music--you might have seen the video I posted of that song a few weeks ago. Apple-cheeked Gianni tries his darndest to keep up with the R & B guys downing uno, due, tre whiskeys. It's Il Primo Whisky that's the hardest to get down, Gianni, after that you're golden.
