Warnes and Vaughan on Manhatten

Post by YankovicGretzky »

I just saw the music video for Jennifer Warnes' version of "First We Take Manhatten" on http://www.youtube.com. I had not seen it since I was ten. WOW! I didn't know that it was Stevie Ray Vaughan that played the guitar on that version of the song. He's in the video. Cohen is in the video too, just standing around.

Thanks, Yankovic and Jarkko, thanks to both of you. Great videos.

I like "Because of" very much because of :wink: the delicate communication between Anjani and Leonard that contrasts so deeply to the silly hopping of the girls Leonard just watches through the bull's-eye. It somehow softens the sort of bitter irony of the song.
Das Wort ist bloß ein Anfang,
bis es auf das Ohr trifft, das es auf-fängt,
und auf den Mund, der ihm ant-wortet.
