Okay, this is actually a little cruel of me, but I can't help it.
By way of preface, if you were around for last week's Listomania -- theme: unsavory pop music trends -- you may recall that somebody (I won't name names) felt compelled to post a link to the following video, of a song I had (up until Friday) mercifully blocked from my memory.
That is, of course, the 1972 smasheroo "How Do You Do?" by the Dutch duo Mouth and MacNeal, and pretty hideous stuff, obviously. After I watched it, however, it struck me that, although I couldn't really give a rats ass about what might have happened to Mouth(!), his partner was actually kind of hot in a 70s/ABBA-ish porn star sort of way. So I went looking for a more recent video.
And found this, from 2008. MacNeal, now toiling in a new duo called the Dutch Divas.
I think the words that immediately come to mind are "oy" and "gevalt."

Not bad looking for two old Dutch broads, and they could kind of sing too. Although, I wouldn't kick them out of my slaapkamer. The two of them would probably begraven me.
When did I get so damn old?
Hey, I LIKED "How Do You Do"! In fact, I just tried to get it on "10@10" the other day and even got the woman who runs the show now to say she liked it (it lost out to, I think, Todd's "Couldn't I Just Tell You")...
Sorry, I prefer the Sweeney Sisters
:-)
The audience! Is it corporate retreat? Maybe MacNeil is a secretary now, and she and her pal put this together to impress her workmates. Awkward.
The Sweeney Sisters Xmas Special is a perennial around these parts...
The Sweeneys meet silicone?
I only like their early stuff.
She filled out nicely, methinks.
Who are the Sweeney Sisters?
ROTP(lumber)
I'm serious! No clue.
Quoth the innkeeper:
"his partner was actually kind of hot in a 70s/ABBA-ish porn star sort of way"
I'm pretty sure that two or three of the girls in the first porn movie I ever saw had the same haircut she does.
Did that Mouth person/thing ever actually play the violin or just carry it around and poke MacNeal with it?
Reminds me of Donald Fagen's description of the members of his first high school band: "We had three guitarists. One guy could really play, one could play pretty well, and the other guy just sort of wore the guitar in an interesting way."
