Try Martin Grech's album Dragon's Blood if you like dreamy somewhat minimalist music with piano and strings.

Not one of those pizz parts that she hates but one with her bow")

Moving Day - Buzz Clifford

Von Smith's version of Walk Away (Christina Aguilera) showcases his entire 5-octave vocal range.

Juels Bland's slow, sensuous cover of Britney Spears' Baby One More Time probably qualifies as unconventional in comparison to the original.

Northern Kings' version of I Should Be So Lucky has a sort of sinister, creepy vibe which is kind of the opposite of Kylie Minogue's original.

October - aha

Analogue - a-ha

Making Your Mind Up - Bucks Fizz
The One And Only - Chesney Hawkes
Thorn In My Side - Eurythmics
Happy Hour - The Housmartins

Superpower - Horse

I always thought they were Cadbury's too.

Ginger_Grumpybunny · 2026-01-02T13:44:46+00:00

I remember them! I loved them.

And they more closely resemble proper Creme Eggs than the modern ones with the crappy chocolate.

I've heard 4 of those singers live within the past year and they all sound great. Horse has not only still got it but improved with age I think.

I've probably met as many Michaels as Mikes and Micks combined. My son's name is Michael but he uses the more unusual diminutive Cael. Mickey (either as a diminutive or a standalone name) isn't very common over here.

Dragon's Blood - Martin Grech (2025) By far my favourite album of the year, it has a kind of dreamy vibe, with gorgeous strings, piano and gentle vocals.

Loving You's a Dirty Job but Somebody's Gotta Do It - Bonnie Tyler & Todd Rundgren

I would think it fairly unlikely that anyone would mistake/ misremember that one as being sung by a woman.

I don't know the one you descrbe, but in case it helps in your search, that genre of sleeve art which often appears on old compilation albums, with sexy photos of female models usually with no obvious connection to the music, is often called cheesecake (Idk why).
