Wikipedia:

In Haitian Vodou, Papa Legba is the intermediary between the loa and humanity. He stands at a spiritual crossroads and gives (or denies) permission to speak with the spirits of Guinee, and is believed to speak all human languages.
  3:08pm
Cecile:

this is defintely a low point for Elton, he sounds tired. The year before his comeback...
  3:09pm
DCE:

I can't say I remember that Elton John song, but he didn't sound tired to me. He sounded stuck in 1977, but not tired.
  3:10pm
spirits of anagram:

Papa Bagel stands at the crossroads of butter and cream cheese.
Papa Gable stands at the crossroads of Jean Harlow and Vivien Leigh.

It was the B-side to "Blue Eyes".
Non-album. From the awrful Jump Up! album.
  3:11pm
Cecile:

I mean from that era.
Not a good time for E.

I'm currently watching Peter Sellers dance. This is kinda working as the accompanying music.
  3:43pm
G:

Anyone got IDs on the gif celeb(?) threesome? I don't know my ancient celebs by look all that well...
  3:44pm
Caryn:

Upper left corner looks slightly like Lois Maxwell, but could be someone else. That's Petula Clark on the right. Not sure about bottom left.
  3:45pm
oooooooold one:

Petula Clark.
  3:46pm
Caryn:

@G: Ooh, I think they're all Petula. Just found the top left pic and it is of Petula, so presume the bottom left is too.
  3:50pm
Caryn:

Yep, found bottom left pic too.

So, Kurt, you gonna be playing some extra Petula today?
  3:54pm
Cecile:

80! Wow! Happy Birthday, Pet!
Avatar 3:54pm
DJKG:

extra petula in a manner of speaking, yes.
  3:55pm
G:

a set would be like uh "Pet Songs", right? ;)
  3:57pm
Caryn:

Man, I didn't realise how much French-language stuff Petula recorded. The stuff one google search will unearth...
  3:58pm
Droll:

The GIF background reads "PC 80".
  3:59pm
Caryn:

Of course, taking your cue from the Brian Jones jingle for Rice Crispies on the WFMU main page, you could dig up Petula's Coca Cola jingle and go nuts.
  4:00pm
Cecile:

wow. and she's been married for over 50 years!
  4:00pm
G:

She was a known item in French pop well before Downtown...

Her wiki page has a recent (2012) pic....
  4:01pm
Caryn:

The Spanish-language records would also be interesting to hear.
  4:06pm
G:

Maybe around late summer 2010 (??) "People Like Us" did an all-"Downtown" show, with the various non-English adaptations she released etc...
  4:10pm
G:

bad memory -- aug 18, 2010, not a show but a set -- french and german "downtowns" as openers
  4:14pm

You know, you seldom hear the word "trousseau" in song lyrics. Nicely done.
Avatar 5:12pm
DJKG:

For some reason, that Depeche Mode VW ad makes my bile rise.

  5:31pm
Caryn:

Yay, Czech "Downtown"!
  5:32pm
Caryn:

You know, Helena also covered "I Only Want to Be With You".
  5:35pm
Caryn:

Interestingly, "Pátá" means "fifth". Hmm, I wonder what the full translated lyrics are about?
  5:37pm
Caryn:

Hmm, now I want to dig up this MLK lecture series.
  5:45pm
Carmichael:

Oh take off, eh.
  5:48pm
Doug:

Holy crap ... someone who knows something about music talking about music!
  5:50pm
Cecile:

ugh. Flash is down.
  5:50pm
G:

Wow, poor Petula Clark and John Lennon must have felt so *chagrined* to hear the lid ripped off them like this. After she got it translated :-)
  5:51pm
common:

well this is nice and insane
  5:53pm
Doug:

I bet that they'd both know exactly what Gould is talking about ...
  5:55pm
from Quebec:

thanks for this CBC fix Kurt. I don't need to listen to Ideas tonight (yes, it's still on) and can watch mindless pap on TV.
  5:57pm
common:

i bet doug of course
  5:59pm
Caryn:

I've taken to belting this song out along with Petula. I think my neighbours are cursing you, Kurt. :)
  6:02pm
G:

Pet's always big on submediant-mediated modulation to a secondary tonic as part of a Liederkreis-embedded heptatonic social commentary on late-capitalist youth consumerism.
