@ jaxboy - the new theme is yours!

 

[jaxboy]

Sorry! I didn't notice that I was the 15th.

I like that last theme. If this is too similar to the last one, I'll change it to something else. Let's try:

Kay, would you give us the translation of the title and the original artist?

 

[ItsAllInMyHead]

08 - Please Mr. Postman - Carpenters (Marvelettes)

I had no idea (if I'm to trust Wikipedia) that Marvin Gaye was on drums for the Marvelettes rendition. Karen and Marvin in a drum-off. Now that's a fun vision.

Love this thread. I learn a bit with each album.
