Dieser Song ist wunderbar...., er erinnert an Zeiten und Urlaube, die es niemals mehr so geben wird.

For such an upbeat song, the lyrics are actually pretty dark.

A song from the old days, which have long since passed, about the even older days.

Georgy Porgy. - Copacabana (1978)
Let the show commence !!!! ... ‘Lola ‘the Showgirl and her ‘Tony’
Welcoming back to the Latino sound from North of Havana. Hopefully, without ‘Rico’ Mr. Bad Guy.
I enjoyed listening to Mr.
Showman himself alias Barry Manilow.
I admit to being a fan of his.
Perhaps I lost my mind too, just like ‘Lola’ did all those years ago.
Copacabana hasn’t really dated. It’s still a ‘Party Song’ when we can go back to partying 🍸🥃🍷🍇🥥👗🎉🎈🎈🎊
I’m up for a party 🥳!!! ...
Anyone care to join in the fun ... maybe very soon.???
Georgy, thoroughly enjoyed Merangueing around the room on my own.
Lovely 😊
I’ll wait for your next Star ⭐️ turn.



Lola & Tony

Há quem queira rotular Barry Manilow como "brega"...
...entendo que quem não viveu esse momento do mundo, do Brasil, da sociedade, sem forno de microondas, sem Internet, sem telefones celulares, sem computadores pessoais, dependendo "das pernas" para ver pessoas queridas, dos correios para uma correspondência que poderia levar mais de 3 meses para chegar no destinatário...
...essas pessoas não entendem o que era ouvir Jovem Pan 2 sem locutor com apenas o Delfiol dizendo as horas de vez em quando...
...não sabem o que era curtir um almoço ouvindo o LP do Barry ou de novelas, ou de coletâneas de músicas francesas, italianas etc. que a Somlivre lançava...
...ou ter uma fita cassette gravada pelo dono da loja de discos...
...é um tempo que as pessoas tinham mais valor, se tratavam com mais educação e respeito, consideração, e até carinho.
Por isso as músicas espelham essa atmosfera...
O músico emana vibrações do que há dentro dele como a lâmpada acesa.
Nem todos têm capacidade de de perceber ou de gostar da vibração que sai dali...

Was never a big Barry Manilow fan, but this song is catchy with fun lyrics. Never liked "Mandy" too soppy. ( No offense to anyone who is a big fan of his stuff)
