I really love Lola too. I get the Fleetwood Mac reference (I wanna be with you everywhere ahh-ahh), but there is also something else that is really authentically 70s about it and it reminds me of great pop songs from the 70s without sounding dated. Especially the part he showcases in the video - the melody behind "Lola baby it's just another love song."

 

Actually, that 'aah' bit from Everywhere was the first song I'd put my finger on for 'Underwater' - in terms of the choir sound:teehee:

Everywhere was written in the late 80s - its's not that it matters as it did not have a particular 80s sound, in any case. Besides, Mika has problems with dates, time scales and chronology of events, anyway :naughty:

For Lola, it was more 70s Bee Gees that came to mind but only after I heard the recorded version. The way the melody goes reminds me of songs like Jive Talking.

Yes I think there is a sound here beyond the Fleetwood Mac AND it sounds like the 70s (not that the Fleetwood Mac IS the 70s sound). I'm not really hearing the Bee Gees. It's something very specific and I'm placing it somewhere between 1974 and 1977 but I can't remember what it is. :aah:

at first I thought it's the same vid I've already seen... but NO!!:aah: Somebody is joking with us xD thanks, you caught my attention

 

I know I was so confused because I thought it was Mika's Vimeo account and I couldn't figure out why the mixes sounded so off. It wasn't until the singing at the end that I realized that the video was totally fake. :doh: :doh: :doh: The piano bit is priceless :lmfao:
