A is that kind of earnest early 60s coffee house thing..very Peter, Paul and Mary, beatniks in black polo necks reading poetry..that kind of thing. Jon Savage's book on 66 alerted me to her "Walking a cat named dog" which was a lot quirkier and more interesting than this. It's okay but a bit of a period piece. my thoughts exactly, G! it still beats the excrement that is B. A

B is a decent electro-pop style groove, but it goes on a bit and doesn't really grab me enough. A is not totally my thing but has some undeniable charm with those hippy folk vocals.

Hmm Celentano doing giberish rap in 1972. Of course the joke got old after 15 seconds. I'll put on Hatz' hat to say it's a weird Celentano selection, but a more standard one* would have sunk here all the same. Since A is the kind of repetitive folky thing sung in a pristine voice that I'm more than fed up with, and out of sympathy towards Celentano B
*for those interested, try Storia d'amore or Azzurro

Oh, I liked this one since the day I flipped my copy of (the much inferior, ultimately) Walking My Cat Named Dog. Pretty tune, lovely characterful voice, decent sentiments: as great hippy chick records go, it ain't Chimacun Rain or Bo Bo's Party, but it will definitely do.
B won't.

Ah, A is a hippy dippy period piece - its pleasant though. B is nuts, from 1972, which is kinda impressive for its prescience and whatnot, but its not something you'd listen to twice.

I'm guessing whoever picked B intended the 1972 original rather than the remix that appeared as a replacement. I still wouldn't have voted for B though even if the original had been the one there.

I think Rayge had trouble with the link I sent (the 1972 recording) and posted a link to the remix instead. Not to worry. Thanks DF for posting a link that worked. Anyway is it better than A? Of course it is. It’s the backing/response vocals that do it for me, strangely. B
