At first thought that the w/e would start on a downer, A.M. - "Video not available in YOUR country" (So there!) However, not being one to take it lying down, it was easily found on YouTube so I've now played it on that site (where one can find just about ANYthing - or so I'm told).
Didn't know this record at all (again) - nor the group, this being their only 'hit' here, getting to #17 in 1993, before the band vanished like a meteor. Pleasant enough, I dare say. (Without having noticed your comment it had actually crossed my mind if you were the 'bee girl'. Then I thought "Nah! This girl's not pretty enough!"
Have a fun-packed Sat/Sun, A.M. Hope your Summer's started in earnest without it being TOO oppressing. We're still waiting for ours to REALLY start. Hope it does before the nights start drawing in again - in less than a month's time. Eek!
hail the king! only hit here too; the lead singer killed himself with drugs. and this MAY be the unofficial start of summer, but I have the heat on in the house; it's COLD!
makes me snap my fingers every time. I have often thought the lead singer sounds like micky dolenz back in the day. but yeah, once he killed himself, the band died too.
The rotten buggers didn't make the video available to me in this country but I outfoxed them by hunting the video down on Youtube! Bet no one's thought of that....lol....! Anne Marie that was real good, feelgood song and the wee girl a bee-utiful little queen!
actually, king raybeard (who lives down south of you) has had to look up my choices this way sometimes. it's a bloody stupid system to limit what can/cannot be shown!
AM THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO much for your telephone call Although my birthday is on Sunday.... I was made up and very touched by your call Thank you my friend xxxx
you are most welcome, sweetie! since I don't have a physical house address, I thought a telephone call would suffice. it was 7:30a here, and I was about to get ready for work. many happy returns of the day to you!
This is one of my absolute favorite tunes and videos of all time....ever! I so cherish the day that I too found the others in their bee outfits and realized that yes....I too belong! Let's celebrate!

DeleteI've been The Bee Girl, too. Makes me really like all the Bee girls out there
ReplyDeletethere are many many of us bee girls out here. glad we found each other! :)
DeleteThe group never had much success after the lead singer died from a drug overdose. It is a catchy tune.

DeleteOh yeah, I get it. 100% I can't count the times I was the Bee Girl.
ReplyDeletePeace <3
