90's blonde bimbo

Merril Bainbridge. She once did a duet with Shaggy. Oh, memories.

did she really duet with shaggy
honestly
all i remember is 'bitch'

Bitch was Meredith Brooks. There are too many female singers whose names start with M. Please eliminate three... etc.

merrill also had a big hit with "under the water" which was rather handy for the members of tlot tlot who wrote a hefty section of it

they should have pulled a cosmic psychos and bought a hip bar or two with the proceeds

Tlot Tlot! I have fond memories of them, even though they are based entirely around the CD single for "The Girlfriend Song".

the (main?) dude is in ruck rover and also fred astereo

i'm not terribly into either but i can understand why people are

Ruck Rover. I think I have vague memories of seeing them once, possibly at a Candle Records gig-thing, but I may be imagining it.

I will always remember Merrill for covering the PSB's "Being Boring" and absolutely butchering the lyric. "My shoes were high, and I had spores": you might want to see a doctor about that.

2 good albums .
merill ripped off the bees gees "i started a joke" - "sleeping dogs"
her comeback bombed so badly the third album will not be released.

The chattering of birds and a hypnotic acoustic guitar open Bainbridge's luscious album and it's focus track, "Garden In My Room." This song has everything: a French cafe accordion, seductive double entendre lyrics ("lay your head on my flowerbed/rest your body on my velvet roses"), and a singer whose voice exudes both innocence and seduction.

"Garden In My Room," opens The Garden with a coy lyrics and an easy beat, but don't let your feet be lulled. This is truly a wild jungle of an album — filled with lush love songs ("Month"), crunchy pop songs ("Sleeping Dogs"), and even a touch of Irish fiddle ("Power of One").

On much of the album, Bainbridge pulls together whimsical arrangements that quietly set off her lilting vocals. In "Under The Water," bass male vocals accompany her, a harmonica and an easy-ocean beat as she sings a mermaid song. And in "Miss You," a jaunty guitar,d rum and "la-la-la" melody (and a tuba) underscore a lyric about missing a lost lover. "Reasons Why" sounds like Olivia Newton-John paired with a cheesy 1980s synthesizer, but somehow its charm is undeniable. Bainbridge even tosses in an acoustic guitar version of Pet Shop Boys' "Being Boring" (With the synthesizers stripped away, it almost sounds like a melancholy folk tune.)

Bouncy, chirpy and very often, sweet as the best honey, The Garden is filled with a varied arrangement of songs that never seem to wilt.

mouth had a brilliant piano solo - sounds like a circus organ.

owen bolwell from tlotx2 co-wrote a lot of and produced all her stuff, right up to last year's flop single

Was it him in the "Under The Water" video looking silly singing the backing vocals? I seem to recall it looked a bit like hi,

i hate "under the water" and all the remixes thereof

I dunno, I don't think I've ever seen a Merrill video. I did see her singing Mouth on Ricki Lake, though!

Is this the thread where I ask if anyone has copies of Tlot Tlot's 'The Live Set' and whatever the covers album was called that haven't been eaten by disc-rot, and if they'd like to burn them for me?
