Can't find a link to it, but her new thing with her younger sister Barbara Streisland, 'For Lovers Only: A Tribute to Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music', is great and side/movement 4 is totally rad. Especially the locked groove at the end when Babs hits that high C note.

I listen to this song every time the cops come to my house because I casually mentioned to the neighbors that I'm deep-cleaning dried bodily fluids from the freezer in the secret underground annex to my backyard toolshed again. I like this song best because she doesn't sing and there's no music.



:shifty:

Funnily enough I've heard Woman In Love twice this week after not hearing it for years. It is pretty awesome.

I don't like her voice much, but Hello Dolly and the Kenny Rogers duet are fine. My wife's a fan.

I love "Enough is Enough" - her duet with Donna Summer. That's about it.

This is the biggest pile of crap I've ever heard. Makes the Fuckin' Shit Biscuits sound like Marvin Gaye. ;)

What? You don't like it? Sure, Babs seems a bit out of place sometimes, but her sis Barbara Streisland is all over it. Very poignant stuff.

EDIT: and only the Fuckin Shit Biscuits make the Fuckin Shit Biscuits sound like the Fuckin Shit Biscuits, maaaaate. :mrgreen:

Well of course Streisland is good but not a patch On her cousin Barbara Streisand. She has a voice like gravel thrown on top of tarmac. Makes Tom Waits sound like Karen Carpenter.

Exactly, and that's what I love about cousin Barbara - so different from Barbara Streisland and her massive screech - so fitting for the album - and Babs' sensual bombastic shrieking. Gotta have those counterpoint tonalities going on in a project like this.

I hate that song with a passion.

Bernadette Peters had a better voice and capital knockers.
