I think I have a new favorite song.....about 6 versions of this on my playlist LOL

Katujen kuningatar (Queen of the Streets)​

"Katujen kuningatar " was recorded in 1985 by the Finnish rock band Skädäm and composed by Jukka Riitaluoma and Jukka Mänty-Sorvari. It was written by Jukka Riitaluoma. The song was sung by Mänty-Sorvari; drums were played by Mänty-Sorvari; guitars by Riitaluoma and Pasi Tuovinen, bass was played by Jukka Ojala. Producer Kassu Halonen played the piano on the recording. The song was released on the album Mustat joutsenet in 1986.

Hän sinuun katsoo läpi karvaiden kyynelten / She looks at you through bitter tears
tuntematta tuskaa loppuaan odottaen / Without feeling agony while waiting for her end
oot toivo viimeinen, hän sinuun ripustautuu / You are the last hope, she's clinging onto you
luona baaritiskin uskoutuu / By the bar counter she confides to you
tunnet hänet jo vuosien takaa / You know her from years ago
ja muistot katkerat mieleesi palaa / And bitter memories comes back to your mind
kuljit hänen luonaan rakkautta etsien / You wandered around her looking for love
kunnes uusi aika nosti sut veneeseen / Until a new era lifted you on a boat

hän oli katujen kuningatar vuonna '77 / She was a Queen of the streets back in '77
jolloin katuja kuljit yöhön pimeään / When you wandered the streets until the dark of the night
hän oli kuningatar särkyneiden sydänten / She was the Queen of the broken hearts
jokainen hänet tunsi häneen luottaen / Everyone knew her and trusted in her
katsot hänen kalpeita kasvojaan / You gaze at her pale face
ei aika ole nuollut haavojaan / Time hasn't licked it's wounds
kuin varjo entisestään hän siinä istuu / Like a shadow of her former self she's sitting there
viinilasin pintaan katse uppoutuu / Gaze draws into surface of the wine glass

hän oli katujen kuningatar vuonna '77 / She was a Queen of the streets back in '77
jolloin katuja kuljit yöhön pimeään / When you wandered the streets until the dark of the night
hän oli kuningatar särkyneiden sydänten / She was the Queen of the broken hearts
jokainen hänet tunsi häneen luottaen / Everyone knew her and trusted in her
hän oli katujen kuningatar vuonna '77 / She was a Queen of the streets back in '77
jolloin katuja kuljit yöhön pimeään / When you wandered the streets until the dark of the night
hän oli kuningatar särkyneiden sydänten / She was the Queen of the broken hearts
jokainen hänet tunsi häneen luottaen / Everyone knew her and trusted in her

"A Tale They Won't Believe" - Weddings, Parties, Anything

A classic Australian song telling a true tale of of cannabalism amongst a group of escaped convicts. I used this in my first published story here.

"Now he had been looking at me funny
Sort of eyeing me for days
And you would not need to be too bright to know that bastard's ways
He was a sick man, he had murder in his heart
But even bastards have to rest
And even bastards have to sleep
And when he was in the land of Nod straight over I did creep
And the axe that he had wielded now was mine
So that night, I made the fire
Out of twigs and out of bark
And my stomach, it kept rumbling all through the night so dark
I can't say that I enjoyed it
And it wasn't exactly fun
But when the sun came up next morning
The two had turned to one
And I said, right there's another one
Don't you frown
Chew the meat and hold it down
It's a tale they won't believe
When I get down to Hobart town"

I was obsessed with PTO as a preteen and this makes my body tingle combining the musical as a brass band and making it sultry makes me wish I was in a lounge hearing it

She did it a couple of days after Connie Francis passed away. I am in awe of her ability to pick these up and do these inside a day or two. She's so talented

She did the same thing when Olivia Newton-John passed away
