A good vocal duet isn’t always delivered in rhythmic unison; performances that sound for all the world like two strong-headed individuals making a case for their claim on the melody — this 1930 recording being a notable example — are the most entertaining.
Here’s another good one: brother and sister Inez & Charlie Foxx’s original 1963 recording of their own composition Mockingbird.
Pretty catchy!

  1. Mark Steyn on the refugee invasion.
    “Let’s take Malcolm Turnbull at his word that it’s only “a very very small percentage of violent extremist individuals”. What is the actual percentage? In the aforementioned Malmö, where up to a thousand mostly young male “refugees” arrive each day, suppose the “very very small percentage” is two per cent. That’s 20 brand new “violent extremists” per day. During the Northern Irish “Troubles”, MI5 estimated that there were no more than a hundred active members of the IRA at any one time – that’s to say, people actively involved in shooting and killing. So Malmö is taking in the equivalent of the entire IRA every week.”

    To what lengths will people go to take a look at what we all possess, and what is essentially the same world-wide, save a few who were born with an AC-DC inverter, or others who have been retro-fitted with an Adapto-Kit.
    Speaking of Adapto-Kits, I’ve always loved this song!!

    When asked about the 18 year pause in global warming, as documented by satellite data, Mr. Mair denied it exists. “So if the data are contrary to your testimony, would the Sierra Club issue a retraction?” Cruz asked.
    “Sir, we concur with the 97 percent scientific consensus with regards to global warming,” Mair responded.”
