@wassup287 Not suspiciously: they bear a slight resemblance, and I can see how you thought of You Won't See Me, but China Forbes would never use music from an outside source without citing it.
Excellent tune, although I am surprised that we didn't hear Eugene say, "You won't see me." (You might have had to have been alive in December of 1965, or shortly thereafter, to recognize the reference.)
@Fernyxferny I just saw your comment, they were so good. I wouldn´t call it ignorance, there´s many great bands we've never heard of. I´m glad it was your best surprise in years.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong... Is this the only original song Pink Martini has? Id not, pls let me know which other songs are original. All the others i've listened to are covers...
@duckleft - I have been a huge fan of Astrud Gilberto for over 20 years. She has a classic voice that you can recognize the minute she starts to sing. Love Bebel Gilberto too. No offense to the Pink Martini fans, I just think their sound has already been done-only better. To those that are fans, that's great!
I don't get why this band is so popular. They sound like every other unsigned band. Yet they have been signed to a label and are playing The Hollywood Bowl. Don't get it - and I am open to most any kind of music. Sounds like a bad Swing out Sister tribute band.
@wmhamby I'm somewhat with you. I like their sound but their singer really does not work for me. Her voice is too heavy..too talky. When I hear these retro sounds I end up comparing them to someone like Astrud Gilberto and she isn't even close to that light lilting sound I prefer over this style of music.
This Eugene was either too stoned to write China's number properly down on the soggy piece of paper or must be such a jerk for turning her down... Either way I'm sure he's out there regreting he didn't call every time he listens to the song...
now this is just a thought and may not be the right but... perhaps the reason he didn't call was coz u wrote ur phone number on a "soggy paper towel"! The numbers probably got smudged and he couldn't read it! Poor Eugene.
man!! all these months i was in luv with the song because i thought Eugine was a girl (it sounds like a girl's name), but now that i know it was a guy, the song may remain great, but its meaning and power is vanished (in my view)
What a cool tune!! I love it. I used to listen to it on the radio and never got the name of the song nor the band for weeks, I knew about them a few months and I can´t stop listening to this particular piece, it's soooo great!!!
omg this is my world history's teacher name...and i wonder if he is the Eugene she's talking about...if so...I'M TELLING HIS WIFE lol j/k j/k j/k santillan if ur reading this...ummm....i'm not in your class!!! lol
just die puppet. if women are so stupid u should just eat ur tattoo and take it of from ur fucking head. i bet u are a fucking virgin moron that is not fucked in the ass not even by a stupid fag.
I have disdain for people that are calling others stupid especially when is done with such an idiotic discrimination. If u are not able to feel something over the words read my mess from above. End of story
you're one sexist cuntrag, honestly worthless. and that idiot that argued with you doesn't help, but still, whatever mommy did to you when you were little...get over it, then maybe these "stupid" women will actually pay attention to you.
The first time I've listened to this song I said to myself: There are so much very good songs out there you don't hear about. This is definetely one of them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the overall level of internationalism represented on this forum is social proof enough to evidence that this group (pink martini) is, for lack of a more sophisticated descriptor, the SHIT.
im going to their concert tonight :p in portugal, i love sharing that :D im really excited!!! i'll let you know how it was, maybe i'll post a video and all ;)
hey guys,u gotta listen to the album to apperciate it...well maybe she's not good in live performance..well most artist suck in live performances, only a handfull really can sing live..
