Aw, I love Merci for the Speed. Oh, well. Here are mine (obviously, I have a hard time limiting myself to just one).

Best: Glamorous Life, Love Bizarre, Save the People, and Love on a Blue Train

Worst: Can I say the Marsha Warfield Show theme song? Cuz that was a stinker. Also: The Shoop Shoop Song and Next Time Wipe the Lipstick Off Your Collar (don't get me wrong, though; I totally love this song...it's a big guilty pleasure).

The Shoop Shoop Song? You mean the one written in the mid 60's? Covered by Cher on the movie Mermaids soundtrack? The one that's not a Sheila E. song? poke

That's the one. Sheila's covered it, and I hate it. I hate that song, and no matter how many of my favorite gay icons cover it, I'm never gonna change my opinion of it.

I never heard her sing it. I think though, that the thread is geared more toward songs from her albums specifically, plus B-sides, and the occasional soundtrack song (like "Holly Rock"), etc.

PS That song isn't my favorite either.

I'm so used to wanting more from Sheila that I take what I can get where I can get it from her. She's got a few songs on soundtracks and compilations, and since she's not really all that famous, it can be a bit of a scavenger hunt to find stuff she's done outside of her albums (oh, the pain of being a completist). Anyway, I think "Shoop Shoop" is available in iTunes, along with her covers of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and "Juba Dis, Juba Dat" (I really love her version of "Juba"). But I don't mind taking all of those out of the running and sticking with the other ones I mentioned.

Chile, she means Sister Fate...also my vote for worst song. Love On A Blue Train is a good pick though, might have to go listen to that in a sec 'cause that used to be my song.

Where is Alice through the looking glass from?? I heard her do it live but can't find it anywhere. Is it an original?

I simply love "Koo Koo". It's one of my all-time favorite Sheila E. tracks.
