This ones for the Duke to think about.

I am only back from a German festival there yesterday and with taking nearly 12 hours to get home via buses, trains, planes and taxi's i had ample time to listen to my ipod. While going through the songs i came across one that just hit me as a brilliant Duke cover....

Cyndi Lauper - True Colours

Give it a try guys and let me know what you think.... (just imagine it as if Mr.Special was singing it himself)

Maybe it was just the tiredness that made it perk me up then... :roll:

well maybe some minor offence to whoever wrote that song!!!

Guinness - may be best to cancel my compilation CD - if it's gonna be full of dodgy 80s tunes ..... :oops:

S'alright - I wasn't hassling you...

I look forward to it - may have to skip the Cyndi Lauper tracks though...

The things that huge amounts of alcohol make men think is undescribable! :?:

If Duke was going to do a Cyndi Lauper song, I'd suggest either the Jules Shear-penned "All Through the Night" or the one she co-wrote with Jules Shear, "Steady."

Well Sneaky, have you ever heard "Steady"? It's a great song..and while I'm not a huge Cyndi Lauper fan, I am a fan of Jules Shear who wrote/co-wrote both songs. Also, I'd bet Duke would like Jules, cuz not only is he a great songwriter, he was also involved with Aimee Mann --one of Duke's faves--for a few years.

Just FYI

By the way, how's that compilation coming? :wink:
