Taxicab Classics – Hopelessly Devoted by Olivia Newton John
I have a confession to make. Normally, musicals make me spit. Grease is the worst of the lot. I’ve wanted to die when I hear the strains of that one that goes rama lama bonk biff boing rama dingly dingo dink bonk tit. However, I shamefully love Hopelessly Devoted by Olivia (eye of) Newton John thanks to a late night with some dark rum and a MW radio station.
The croon of devo-ted fills me with a warming embarrassment. I’ve even learned the tune on my guitar. There’s a bit that goes maw-maw-m’maaaw that I love to the point of fainting. Of course, the mention of medium wave means it’s a bona fide taxi behemoth. Click over, watch and secretly love. Note the cold stare of killer on the face of Olivia in the vid…
Oh God. A thousand dittos to everything you said (except the bit about being able to play it on the guitar).
