"Sunshower" "Cherez La Femme"

Tell me about the group. My mom said when I was little I used to sing along to this album

Who are they? I just special ordered this strange album today.

I had never heard of them until I saw "Cherchez La Femme/Se Si Bon" on the "Studio 54" soundtrack. It reminds me of 1920s "Charleston" type music set to disco. It's OK.

Hmm, I vaguely remember that song in the 70's. Then, some cat's from Wu sampled it in a rap song abou 6 years ago.

Ghostface used both of those tracks.

The original "Sunshower" is really cool!

they name- drop tommy motolla in their song cherchez la femme

Tommy Mottola lives on the road
He lost his lady two months ago
Maybe he'll find her, maybe he won't,
oh, oh, never, nooo
He sleeps in the back of his grey Cadillac, oh my honey
Blowing his mind on cheap grass and wine
Oh ain't it crazy baby, hey
Guess you could say hey, hey
This man has learned his lesson, oh hey
Now he's alone
He's got no woman and no home
For misery, oh, oh
Cherchez la femme
Miggie, Miggie Bonija's very upset
She's sick and tired of living in debt
Tired of roaches, tired of rats, I know she is oooh
So her noble man says,
"Baby I understand, oh my honey"
Now he's working two jobs at Eighth Avenue bars
Oh ain't crazy baby
Now she complains
That her man is never present, no
She goes next door, I know that she's just playing the whore
Hey for misery (my friend)
Cheechez la femme
They tell you a lie with a colgate smile, hey baby
Love you one second and hate the next one
Oh ain't it crazy, yeah
All I can say , ay, hey, og one thing I am certain, oh, oh
They're all the same, all the sluts and the saints For misery (my friend), "Cherchez la femme

I actually liked the Ghostface song. That whole album is hot. The guy Augustino (August Browder) aka Kid formed the band with his brother and then went on to form Kid Creole and the Coconuts.

didn't know about the Kid Creole connection. Style-wise it makes sense.
