"this too shall pass"

I actually prefer the Beach Boys "80s lame cover" of 'California Dreamin' to The Mama's & Papas' 60s hit version.

I actually prefer the version by the Vassar Night Owls with Meryl Streep on lead vocal

Zounds! Must investigate...but also sincerely hoping you are not a Ricki & The Flash aficionado!

There's a reason this song is not even on many of their compilations (because it's not even their original). Yet this one was chosen as their only song to play on russian radio for 30+ years. Not even Good Vibrations. I'm definitely sick of that song because of constant radioplay and total ignorance about everything else in their vast catalogue.

That's understandable. But it still remains a very good 'late-career' cover version by 'Los Muchchos De La Playa'.

I have no clue what Ricki & the Flash even is (and am quite comfortable not knowing). I can only say this video shows Streep made the right career choice.

Her singin' here is about as stiff snd soul-less as her actin' has become. Avoid "Ricki & The Flash" like a Covid-19-infused nursing home towel. Even by Steep standards...it 'bleauxs'.

I spewed during the previews.

I googled 'Ricki' after my last post. That's 30 seconds of my life I'll never get back.

...or as I always refer to it: "A Star Is Boring" (I think I nicked that title from an old Mad Magazine).

Forgot she was even in it. Guess she didn't make much of an impression.

You'll need to revisit it I guess.

Probably so. I don't think I've watched it since several years before "Lewinski" started being used as a verb.
