This is just so damn beautiful.

I wanna walk like the African Women
I wanna talk in sing-song
Behind the myth is the effort of the rhythm
Behind the rhythm is the effort to belong
one mask, one choice
my heart, your voice
out of step with the rest of the world
we've found a rhythm in the rhyme
between me and you

I wanna step out of the shade of a place that's half aware but never truly wakes
only then a moment of pleasure
one eye on my last mistake
I know there is more to love than this
effortless and clever
I'm yours forever

I know courageous  stranger places
every moment forward must be right
If there's to be an evolution of the races
I wish I may
I wish I might
exist and entwine
proceed to combine
each more mobile and devine
proceed to combine
the process is the purpose
that's why my love is blind

I wanna walk like the African Women
I wanna talk in sing-song
behind the myth is the effort of the rhythm
behind the rhythm is the desire to belong
one mask, one choice
my heart, your voice
work so well together
I'm yours forever

devoted and surrendered
I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours, forever
firmly fit together
I'm yours, yours forever
forever
I'm yours, forever

Yes she did!  She named herself after the Domino Sugar warehouse.

That is one of the coolest record jackets I've seen in a long time!

Though quite shy as a child, Anna was also a bit of a show off and her hobby of memorizing and reciting comedy records in high school led to her expulsion shortly before graduation.
 
Ahh I like her already.  Reminds me of reciting George Carlin and Redd Foxx bits on the schoolbus back in the 1980s. The other kids loved it... any entertainment was good on a boring bus ride, especially when it was risque cutting edge comedy.

Whenever I hear the beginning of this song I start singing, "Lie still, little bottle..."  Pretty darned similar to that old TMBG tune. 


i played that through the laptop speakers for the overlapping music - and smiled. Definite similarity but has more to do with the snapping fingers and beat. I'd never heard this one before, thanks for the reference!

Nope, not really.  This has more of a late 1950s or early '60s vibe to me.  Like Peggy Lee or some torch singer of that era.

That does get played occasionally.  It is either hated or loved, not much between..ha

Its a 12" 45 rpm 4 song EP

Rythm (Spelled that way on lp and cover)
Sixteen Tons
Half of Myself
Target

"Les disques du crepuscule" 12TW1520 Made in Brussels

More dynamic and better bass than the CD version

I see a dimly lit jazz club, everyone is wearing black turtlenecks. then audrey hepburn comes in and starts doing interpretive dance like in the film funny face (used for gap recently)

Wow, that's a long time... Anna Domino. I only knew her from a song she did with Luc Van Acker back in the eighties, called "Zanna". One of my favourite songs back then (still is a great song).  
So Bill, if you read this and you have "Zanna", please play it, I know you would make alot of Belgian peeps happy.

Btw, nice playlist today!

Anna Domino, lead singer for Snakefarm, a band I enjoy greatly. This is the first I've heard of her solo work. Not sure what I think yet.....I don't hate it.

The piano part reminds me of TMBG's "Lie Still, Little Bottle," and probably a dozen old songs.

She sounds like 99.9-era Suzanne Vega. Pretty groovy. I like the bass line a lot.
