Ugh. "Cambodia" was NOT a favorite.

Kim's version was huge here in South Florida; it was right at home with the great freestyle shit on the radio like Company B and Expose. And then came Tiffany's "I Think We're Alone Now," which is delicious and slatternly.

That would be "Jive Talkin"' - The Bee Gees' best ever post 1970 moment.
As for their work with other acts during the 70s, my favourite would be Samantha Sang's "Emotion". Some of Andy Gibb's singles were also OK.

a lot of post-1980s dance music is like this. really excited-sounding electronic dance tracks with ostensibly extremely-depressing lyrics.

Did some playlist computer spit this out as the Lost Song Due for Resurrection on those the "best mix of the 70s and 80s and today!!!!!" radio stations? Or did like some actual human decide it was good--something from the, god help us, "disco era" that people weren't sick of from a thousand campy weddings?

Not an Asian-American but "Ue O Muite" by Kyu Sakamoto is the only US #1 (1963) sung in Japanese.

the French horn is nice on this song, too...it's just Jesus Christ Superstar is one of my fave albums & I hate her character & songs in it SO MUCH (this will probably make you sad too)

but this has been a beneficial thread insofar as it reminded me to listen to the JCSS OST

fuck "I Don't Know How to Love Him" and its cloying ersatz longing

I forgot she had a bit in "What's the Buzz," my self-protection mechanisms must have erased this bummer memory
