sm_woods has been running through the Stranded Singles a lot faster than I can keep up, but I did manage to jump in with my thoughts as to
whether "Mecca" was as weird in its time as it seems in retrospect (the answer from your faithful earwitness being "No, not weird at all"), the convo then touching upon just how Margaret Berger's "Robot Song" and t.A.T.u.'s "Cosmos" pull off what they pull off.
Also, comparisons between Nervous Norvus and Eddie Cantor can be found
here.
