The Search for Love in Manhattan

April 19, 2005

If there are any of you out there who have yet to experience the magic that is Wing, New Zealand's singer extraordinaire, you must go at once to her web site and let her transform your life. Particularly transcendent is her rendition of "I Want To Hold Your Hand."

Angels and ministers of grace, defend us.

That made me so unspeakably happy, I can't tell you. I have renewed faith in human nature. Really. Also, "Dancing Queen" is by far her best.

2) David said (on 04/19/05 at 11:03 PM):

And now I'm laughing uncontrollably. Where do you find this shit?

3) tim said (on 04/20/05 at 01:06 AM):

Okay, okay... how did you find my mom's website????? And stop making fun of her!!!!!

David: I do like "Dancing Queen." I'm glad to have made you happy.

David: I'm taking my secrets with me to the grave.

tim: I have nothing but respect for your mom. It's clear that she passed on her sense of musicality and rhythm to you.

logan: Word.

sdf: Ah, of course we all live in the shadow of the great Florence Foster-Jenkins. But can one blame Wing for trying?

The cover of Dancing Queen by Wing - that thing she's doing with the fans looks fairly innocent, but actually she's initiating an ancient mating ritual. Filthy bitch.

Wow, she and William Hung need to get together! I'd love to hear their rendition of Gwen's Hollaback Girl.

9) Toronto Girl said (on 04/20/05 at 09:49 PM):

I'm going to have to disagree with you -- I Could Have Danced All Night trumps them all.

10) Faustus, M.D. said (on 04/21/05 at 07:18 AM):

Christopher: Then I am going to have to get her to teach it to me.

jake k.: Compared to Wing, William Hung is a rank amateur. She would destroy him if they sang together.

Toronto Girl: That one's pretty damn good too.

11) Lee said (on 04/24/05 at 07:04 AM):

She was also made an appearance on a recent "South Park"
