I agree with Miri, the vodka one sounds too much! Thanks for the music suggestions, I borrowed a Morcheeba CD the other day, they’re funky & cool.
Holly Ringland replied
get yourself a bottle of honey vodka and a punnet of fresh cherries, pull up a chair in the sunshine with suzanne and the possums, and put on morcheeba jim… you won’t know yourself :)

well alright! hey just reading your list again… is “brown skin” that one that goes “you know I love your brown skin”.... I couldn’t stop singing it though I’m sure nothing sounds worse than a white boy trying to sound soulful like that LOL
Holly Ringland replied
ha! yep, i reckon you’re on the right track (excuse the pun). Click on the link and you can watch the music clip AND hear it all at once – then you can soulfunk your way around the place today, white boy :)
