SAW-dust


The Young Divas have announced single number two and the release of their album in December. After their cover of Donna Summer's 1989 Stock Aitken Waterman penned and produced hit 'This Time I Know It's For Real', they're raiding the SAW achives again with a cover of Lonnie Gordon's appropriately titled 'Happenin' All Over Again'.

These songs are perfect for the YDs, having been written by pasty Brits for fading black divas. Why, then, have they resorted to covers of 'It's Raining Men', 'Gloria' and 'What a Feeling' (especially as Marcia Hines recorded the last of these semi-recently) for their album?

I propose they head back to the studio and make the 100% SAW-penned album that is their destiny. This should include:

Most of all, the album should include a cover of the charmingly titled 'I'd Rather Jack', a hit (well, in the UK, unless you call number 46 in Oz a 'hit') for the very lovely Reynolds Girls. Before you get too excited, 'Jack' was allegedly slang for a certain type of house music, so they aren;t suggesting any lewd conduct. However, with lyrics like "AM, FM, all that jazz / We'd rather sing along with Yazz" and "I'd rather jack / Than Fleetwood Mac", its an absolute craptacular classic.

The video is a joy too, so I'm presenting it now in all its glory Hopefully, the YDs can now learn HOW IT'S DONE. I think some advice from the lovely scouse lasses on hair and outfits might not go astray either. They were sixteen when this vid was made, but the haircuts make them look forty. Genius!

Weasel, what about BoyKrazy's "That's What Love Can Do" - I loved that song! I always wished I could have seen them live, just to hear how they would tackle that warped computerised vocal bit in the middle.
