ArchivesRe: what does my best friend's name mean?
in reply to a message by CheBanana
I'm kind of amazed that the music of The Captain and Tennille actually found an audience over in the British Isles (where, I presume, you grew up). I'll be positively astounded if you tell me that people were listening to this stuff over in Greece back in the mid-'70s. (I can just picture the Hellenists looking oddly at each other, and saying: "WHAT kind of 'rat' love was that???"
Has that ouzo kicked in yet? :)

Actually, the song was quite popular in Greece, under the title "Mouskourat Love". And Che confided to me that he's not altogether sure that Toni Tennille should be considered the prettier half of the duo. Incidentally, the "Captain" is named Daryl Dragon, neither of which names is my first choice to hand on a defenseless child.
Your 70's opinion: who has the bigger mouth, Tennille or Carly Simon?

Actually CheBanana was born 'n' raised in Hellas, never got my tan by standing in the English rain. And yes, i'm ashamed to admit that we Hellenes were rodentially involved back in 70s. But I guess all cultures exhibited cheesy manifestations back then.
Ouzo isnt quite kicking, currently experimenting with Cretan moonshine calles Tsikoudia.
