That was awful. And I know, because my music choices are superior to any of yours.

But really what the hell was that? Where's the Sunday metal thread?

She would have made a waaaaaaaaaay hotter Princess Leia.

Was nailpolish-boy's guitar horribly out of tune, or is the song really that discordant?

ya...it doesn't help that she was singing in the wrong key, either...

My buddy and I went to see Berlin because of the hot girl singer.
We had no idea they had such a large gay following (NTTAWWT).
I think we're a couple now.

that guitar was out of tune or Dave can't chord for shiat. can't tell from here. sounded out of tune.

I love Terri Nunn...and I always loved this song. This is a great cover.

Thanks, subby!!!

Terri Nunn was in Penthouse when she was 17.

I know that has nothing to do with this clip, but its important information.

I lol'd.

When you hear the price the paid
I'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade

It was not awful, but it did make me lol

Olivia Newton John was an absolute goddess in her prime.



/not a horrible cover

owns Xanadu CD

I dug it... Things like this go a long way to show that there is a big difference b/w a song itself and a recording of said song.

And Navarro's guitar wasn't out of tune; there are a lot of dissonant chords in that song.

He's a little flat. Just came here to mention that.

It's funny, my first concert buddy and I used to pick concerts based almost entirely on whether a) there was a female in the band and b) if there was a chance that she'd take off her shirt while performing.

After the Preenders concert: "Well, Chrissie Hynde didn't flash her tits. What's the next concert coming up?"

"Joan Jett."

"Oh, you know THAT whore will take off her shirt."

Needless to say, disappointment ensued.

Finally went to see Missing Persons, and at least that Bozio chick was wearing see-thru plastic bubbles over her boobs, albeit with black tape over her nipples.

It was just our assumption that, if a woman's performing on a stage, it's just natural that she's going to render herself topless at some point. Being thirteen is confusing.

Horrifying

Horrifying

Shut your whore mouth when men are talking, biatch*. That was pretty damn good singing.

*I don't have the photoshop meme to go with the cheap shot, sorry.

I'm still waiting to see if Terri Nunn's prime ends.

good stuff, and she's still hot

It's an okay cover, but the original blows it away. I love the harmonics and the bass line on the studio version.

Here is the link for the original Magic by Olivia Newton-John

I'll be im my bunk.

Apparently this thread is full of people who've never heard the original song - as others have pointed out, it's full of dissonant chords. For reference, here's a live version of the original - ONJ at her vocal best in 1982:

Magic (new window)

This isn't a bad cover. FWIW, I don't think Miz Nunn was trying all that hard to belt it out - her voice is still quite good and this song is well within her range.

She sounds and looks great for her age. It was a nice cover.

This song is useless without cocaine. At least the original was. I'm not going to listen to an acoustic version, it would completely defeat the purpose.

Yup (and speaking of fun, crappy songs - this one qualifies. See Dylan thread for ref.)

Out loud.

Dave's playing it correctly. The original version has the same dissonant notes.

Not a real simple chord arrangement, either.

Re: link for the original Magic by Olivia Newton-John

Hummina-hummina... She certainly was stunning, wasn't she? And she still looks mighty fine.

/have the proof on my hard drive...

She looks like Debbie Harry and sounds like Dionne Warwick. Yippee.

I love Terri Nunn, and I think she's got a great voice and still looks gorgeous today, but she can't sing that song as well as Olivia did. Say what you will about ONJ, but she had great range and could hit some notes that Terri Nunn can only dream about.

Now Cyndi Lauper, on the other hand, could hit any note ONJ could hit, and then turn around and hit all the others she can't hit, too.

According to what I've read, she was actually 16 at the time of the photos, and had been considered for a role in Caligula but was just too young for them to get away with it.

Do the math.

I love that song. Go get the ONJ version and listen to the backing track. Just awesome.

Damn. Add her to the list in that other thread. And ONJ. And Cyndi. In addition to countless others that will rise to the surface of my consciousness overnight.
