A Taste of Honey

In the late ‘70s, I heard both punk/new wave and disco/soul. Those days, with music and fashion more categorised, I thought it looked really bad saying something like “I love punk and listen to soul wearing a ‘Destroy’ t-shirt”. But come to think of it, this may just have been something normal. Whenever I remember punk, I always seem to settle on something like disco, which comes to mind.

Like this for example …

 

“A Taste of Honey” — the most popular song at that time maybe?

 

I liked the next album, and this song …

“Do it Good” — I went with this song and really loved listening to the album.

 

When I DJ’ed this song was well-played.

“Rescue me” — With this song, I knew phrase from the TLC song.

 

A classic cover version that was also a hit.

This feels oriental, with the slight ‘Cosplay’.

Far from the original, an already beautiful broken hearted love song, why give it the ‘Sukiyaki’ subtitle …

Thats bad orientalism (laugh)
