Poliisi pamputtaa taas (I don’t know how translate that something like “police is beating with billy clubs again”) by Eppu Normaali
Finland, February 1978
Getting Beat Again by Chubby and the Gang
UK, August 2021
The original is bit more humorous:
Police drive in a blue car uaa blue car
Police have sirens on their roof uaa sirens on their roof
Police beats with rubber baton uaa rubber baton
Police threatens people with jail uaa people with jail
Etc.
Chubby and the Gang srrangement:
Police run around in bully vans.
Sirens scream from the top of their roofs.
Beating people, throwing them in jail.
Etc.

I’m not familiar with Vangelis so I misread the title as the name of a singer - Jon Vangelis. A minute or so in I was thinking, “Wow, that guy is a dead ringer for Jon Anderson.”

Seems like they found an antidote for whatever the hell is wrong with Eric Clapton. Wish it were more widely distributed…
There was a recent thread about an upcoming ABBA show. I’d prefer an ABBA cover song performance. Zum beispiel:
Portishead
Erasure

the only bad thing about the Erasure ABBA album is that it’s too short… It should be a full album rather than en EP…
