LovelyCuddly Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I love so much tonight's episode, so much nostalgia with all those songs! And it's always such a pleasure to hear how happy Mika is when he's presenting! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisonyoulove Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The fact that Mika recorded a cover of Cuddly Toy for Zoolander 2 but because it was cut we'll just never get to hear it ... is making my heart hurt so much. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a crime, really. I can't even believe they would do something like that. To be honest, this what I will remember for now on when I see Ben Stiller's face. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, this what I will remember for now on when I see Ben Stiller's face. I totally agree - it's a crime, nothing else We know that only parts of what's made for the film industry is being used, but this recording, going to waste, I feel was an unnecessary stealing of MIKAs valuable time But I was very happy last night, to hear MIKA calling The Monkees "superclever" - which is something I've always ment and said. It was the first popgroup ever I was a real fan of, at the age of 15 y.o. I even got my penpal from the U.S. to be able to get stuff and follow these four guys, in the best way I could at that time. Sadly the cute singer Davy Jones passed away some few years ago. But their recordings will live forever. That's why we also should have MIKAs version of "Cuddly Toy" available...

teenagedreamer98 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 This episode was very good. It's always interesting to hear about Mika's musical influences; I could definitely see some similarities between Harry Nilsson and Mika's work. Very sad that this was the last episode, though.

tiibet Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) This Harry Nilsson episode might be my favorite of these all. He has mentioned him so many times and I still had no idea Harry Nilsson wrote all these songs! I mean most of these songs are familiar to me of course, they are really famous, but didn't know they were his. Been listening to the new cover the whole day Not as emotional as the Joni Mitchell song but so pretty. They really should do more episodes.

Melyssa Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Thanks again for putting it all here, it makes it so easy to catch up I really do like having one artist per episode - it really feels like he's telling me a story and well he is actually a very good storyteller (I always start knowing the name and one or two songs and end up wanting to buy the greatest hits and read the complete biography in three volumes ) And those covers are a delight... I'm still not over Both Sides Now and won't even try to explain the emotional wave that went through me the first time I heard it (or the first 20 times). But three only, no nope sorry not enough 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyolivier Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) I'm already sad this round of shows is over. I have a very long (1.5 hour) drive to and from college (3 - 4 hour round trip) 2 days a week, and my Wednesdays are usually nearing the 10-hours-awake point by the time I start my hour and a half drive home. I'm always so tired and usually a bit annoyed at this point, and each of these episodes I've downloaded onto my phone and listened to on these Wednesday afternoon drives. it turns out three weeks was exactly enough time to get used to this tradition His radio voice is so lovely and soothing and such a nice way to put a calm, pleasant end to my long tired day. I'm already dreading having to drive home without Mika to keep me company next week LOL. I may just have to download the whole Art of Song catalog and start listening again from the beginning!

Mikasister Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) I can't stop listening to these three covers. It becomes almost an obsession. For me the best he has done. I don't know if it's his lower voice but I'm totally hoocked I miss hearing him live. Edited April 17, 2017 by Mikasister 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
