Czech it Out!

Karel Gott started me off on a whole tangent and now I can't stop! Sound familiar?

That's right - it's the Small Faces' Sha La La La Lee. Wowsa.


Dig those "Papa Ooo Mow Mow" background vocals. And a Giorgio Moroder composition, but I'm clueless on this.

And in the interest of all things beautiful and ugly, I bring you what is possibly the world's most unattractive band:

is that John Cazale on keyboards?

The singer in video #3 is a man, I'm convinced.

That second selection was so catchy I had to do some research! The Czech Lulu is actually Valerie Cizmarova (1952-2005) and a wildly hilarious babelfish translation of the lyrics results in:

Years fly a desk waiting for me when you get back to me with repentance.
In a few years you'll be the old man and I barely remember temptations of the world.

Years of flying and time is running out.
Years of flying and time is running out.
The years fly, and your son already has a voice as Šaljapin.

Ha-ma-má-má ma-ma ha-ma-má-má. Ha-ma-ma ma-ma-ma-ma ha-ma-ma.
Ha-ma-má-má ma-ma ha-ma-má-má. Ha-ma-ma ma-ma-ma-ma ha-ma-ma.
Ha-ma-má-má ma-ma ha-ma-má-má. Ha-ma-ma ma-ma-ma-ma ha-ma-ma.

Years fly like nuts and I cook all day and night, what you like.
Have you, my boy, not twenty, he would occasionally you should go home to sleep.
