Cristina - Is That All There Is?
Cristina Monet recorded this cover of the Peggy Lee classic way back in 1980. Although it wasn’t realeased for some time, after the song’s original composers, apparently rather offended at Cristina’s judicious alteration of the lyrics (“And then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in Manhattan, we’d take long walks down the river, and he beat me black and blue, and I loved it”), sued.
Despite how long ago this was recorded, it really doesn’t sound dated at all. It’s got a really infectious disco/polka sound to it that would surely have the contents of any New York club up and dancing.
