Feb 22, 2011 Tuesday Dilemma: What’s more amazing?
1966 — Stella, still just a teenager, parodies Sheila
1981 — Christian Vander, then Stella’s husband, and his band Magma pay tribute to Otis (that’s Stella at left in the opening shot)
(Warning: I find this song and its performance fascinating, but Magma fans, more used to this kind of crazy, seem to agree it’s the worst thing he’s ever done–which would be another reason to watch it…)
2009 — Jaymes and Nathan of gobluekillred parody/pay tribute to Magma’s “Otis” in an ad for the latest Chariot’s album (the sell lines in the lyrics are just brilliant)
