I'd forgotten how much I loved Kid Creole's Annie (I'm Not Your Daddy) but not my intense love of gaudy, electric eyeshadow - that never went out of fashion for me and it never will.
I just feel terribly sorry for the youths of today. All their paternity arguments are played out on Jeremy Kyle between 3 people without a full complement of teeth between them. In our day it was a samba beat song. What a cracking line - If I was in your blood, then you wouldn't be so ugly. Meow, no DNA test needed here.
I'm going to go put on enough neon green eyeshadow to guide the space shuttle back to earth. Enjoy.
Kid Creole bought me a drink once! When he was up this way he used to come in to the restaurant where I worked as he knew the owner. He usually wore a dapper white suit, a coat draped over his shoulders, & a jaunty hat. He was an uber cool dude :)
