[philipc67]

I love this song, it's good for psychedelic disco dancing. Discovered it in 1978-9 with her "Never trust a pretty face" album, which contains several good songs and whose cover of Amanda as a snake/sphinx creature is fantastic! Oooh those memories from the late 70s come flooding back, the nostalgia and innocence! Does anyone remember the name of the song which goes " you dream of blue lagoons, and China Seas etc"? Thanks.

[faricallas]

BELLÍSIMA CANCIÓN DE AMANDA.COMO SIEMPRE IGUAL DE ELEGANTE,SEXY Y FELINA.ERA Y ES UNA MUJER PRECIOSA CON MUCHA CLASE Y CULTURA.

[sweepdisco7]

so beautiful!

[keith904A]

it has a passing resemblance to "Move On" by Abba.

[1963bosaerbe]

beautifull !! I love you Amanda ! pls never remove

[samedova1969]

[CATFISHratcoon]

Wow the lyrics of this song are really deep and from the heart amanda lear is quite the songwriter and singer I love her she's awesome!

[chrisrod5880]

[zurapDOR]

A piece of art..

[21031969100]

pani amanda lear  to jedna z najpiękniejszych piosenkarek na świecie

[Agnosticka]

genious!... true genious ;)

[sverigech]

She's still very big in France (she's french).

She's a kind of funny and crazy character invited in different tv shows.

She's now in a theater playing a famous comedy about "minister scandal".

[1136twin]

[cerrane]

[kpravo]

[vali1luci]

[lassepran]

Sugende !

[AlbertMondback]

This is pretty great.

[StarBrown08]

Does she have any children?

[number2001]

No, she doesn't

[mellobbello]

she was born a male. and i suppose she's not a father to anybody.

[ldyreal]

@StarBrown08 She used to be a male, she worked in Paris in the late 50's, a friend of April Ashely.

[friedmann1959]

@StarBrown08

why would that be important?

I always find this question somewhat 'stinky 50's'

[sheyda212]

true goddess

what an inspiration

[ErnieLVsasha]

Does not matter if its its lypsinc it is lovely

[feustelfan]

The background vocals in the refrain

("I Can't Even Cry") sound to me like the Bee Gees. Am I right?

[brv1848]

Amanda, meine Disco-Göttin!

[jackfeirytheonlyone]

STUPENDA.

[philipmwatkins]

love it love it love it!! Reminds me of "coming out" amidst the depressingly grim tory aids hysteria brainwashing bollox and aftermath of the falklands etc when i was gratefully introduced to the wonder that is Ms Lear on vinyl. This from some1 with punk/new wave upbringing...check out the hilariously bad vid 4 lili marleen and the incredible wah wah disco and accordion sounds on anuva GR8 track.. SHE Really is the mutz nutz. Long live the LEAR!

[wallcity19]

Amanda was my Idol! She cant really sing,but the songs were absolutely fabulous.Have all her records from that time.Give a high five to the producers!

[wuscli]

holy man! Some very bad lipsync. She really doesn't look like an asian boy. Rumours on the net lol

[ldyreal]

Fact, worked in Paris at Le Carousel with April Ashely, and Coccinelle.

[VenusFennica]

I absolutely LOVE this song and the lyrics - what a story! Great Amanda!

[outdoorw6]

This is a beautiful song..I am a huge fan of Amanda..unfortunatley she had no chart hits here in the UK

[jernsusp]

wonder where she is today? Love this song. Years are just running away

[number2001]

Today she's in France, doing some theatre comedies...

Occasionally she appears on Italian TV ;)

[amandaliciously]

@jernsusp she has a new ep coming up. she's at youtube @reinelear

she sings still

[1963bosaerbe]

I love this song !!!

I love you Amanda please never remove this video

[S9KSY]

One of my best 5 songs ever.

Reminds me of some very difficult and horrible war times in 1981, when I used to listen to this song over 10 times every day, expecting to be killed before I could hear it again.

I survived. Many of my friends did not.

I still love the song

[DagfinnDagfinn]

What a great and poignant comment to a truly "eternal" song, thanks for adding to its allure and mystery!

[flatlands]

Doesn't Amanda singing this song remind you of Madeline Kahn singing "I'm Tired" in Mel Brooks's "Blazing Saddles"?

[kastrulljavelskit]

I love Amanda Lear<3 fabulous!
