(1,061 posts)3. A twist on a classic...
Former WestPac Shellback here... A friend of mine introduced me to the vinyl version and now I share the digital here. From the Youtube intro:
"In 1980 Franco-American singer Cristina performed a cover of Peggy Lee's "Is That All There Is?" from 1969 with new, satirical lyrics. Its authors, Leiber and Stoller, sued and successfully got it withdrawn for many years. Produced by August Darnell, a.k.a. Kid Creole, this version was eventually re-issued in 2004, with the songwriters' blessing, as a bonus track on a Cristina compilation.
Enjoy!
