CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."
Thor Erics - På jakt efter dej sounded just as I imagined; bloody awful.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazes me is that their career lasted from 1963 right up until 1999. - How / Why !
Oh, sweet mystery of life. Like in the Eurovision Song Contest, we'll never understand the types of music that appeal to people in foreign climes... Jx
DeleteI'm glad it's Martinis plural as I shall need far more than one to get over the Thor Erics.
ReplyDeleteRoger McDuff in that suit (but minus the motorbike helmet hair-do) reminds me of Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor in the first Superman film.
I'm with Noel Coward on the subject of Martinis - they should be made by “filling a glass with gin then waving it in the general direction of Italy.”
DeleteMr Mc Duff reminds me more of Sophia Petrillo in The Golden Girls. Jx
The Thur Eriks looked too much like the trendy gospel singers in USA...so I didn't dare play it!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Noel Coward!
Thankfully, Madam Arcati did the Google search to find music by them so we don't have to. Needless to say, it's not worth seeking out.
DeleteI agree with Dear Noel, too - gin is far too good to be adulterated by something as horrid as vermouth! Jx
Just listening to Jackie Gleason Presents Music, Martinis, and Memories while doing the dishes and waiting for my Valium to kick in.
ReplyDeleteHe is a bit too lacklustre for my taste give me a bit of Victor Silvester any day.
Here we go, slow, slow, quick, quick, quick, slow.
Wow! You certainly are dedicated to locating the music behind these bizarre and wonderful LP covers... Jx
