I am so looking forward to playing the music for the late night London summer edition of Milong Esa! Not long to go – July 22nd!
The optional dress code is cool and relaxed – denim – and I will be playing cortinas that are rooted in the 80s party theme .. so let’s have a party!
While I was on this journey of preparing cortinas I just found so many songs that a Tango addict would love the idea of interpreting .. Move Closer, Self Control, Every Little Thing, Relax …
But surely – this is the all time classic.. just made me laugh so much – so here is a 45 second cortina .. possibly the worlds most appropriate 1980s party Tango cortina..
Haven’t we all been there?
I need a Giro ..
“Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need
I need a giro
I’m holding out for a giro ’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a giro
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light”
I’m holding out for a giro ’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a giro
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light”
Apologies to Bonnie Tyler and the lyricist!
