Did you swing out, sister?

Admit it, you wrapped a scarf around your head and sashayed around your bedroom.

No, but I can sing off key just like her.

I used to lip sync in the mirror to Miss Pat Benetar.

I was fabulous!

the video at OP has a lovely rotary phone, perfect for dialing with a pencil.

They spent thousands styling her yet not a penny on voice lessons.

No idea why people are suggesting the lovely Corrine can't sing.

I loved Breakout. There are songs that just take you back and that is one of them.

"Am I The Same Girl?" by Swing Out Sister is on the August 1992 Gap In-Store Playlist!

I did, and still do every now and then. The first two albums (especially the second) are excellent. Since then, each album has had one or two good songs and the rest of them veer uncomfortably close to Yoko One territory. Sorry. It's true.

I was inspired by Miss Corinne's singing!

Kaleidoscope World is a perfect album. You On My Mind should have been a huge hit with its Thomas Crown video.

Emma Bunton went down the Swing Out Sister road with her solo work. It was mostly successful - Maybe being the most SOS.

Honey, that’s past tense.

I still sashay to this shit. When it’s a classic, you just have to!

She has a lovely tone to her voice, but she was so often just below or above the note in "Breakout."

She improved as time went on, but some songs were dotted with bum notes.

For example:

r32 "Breakout" does have a low-key Miami Sound Machine quality to it.

I have all their albums. When BB Kings was open in time square, they would play there. Her voice wasn't the best live but the shows were fun.

Her voice wasn't the best recorded, either.

My brother was convinced she sang the "That Girl" theme.

LOL at the prisspot who stomped her hooves in another thread and said

"I will not tolerate any Corinne Drewery slander!"

Who doesn't love Corinne? She's a triple thread - can't act, can't dance, can't sing!

Nico never sang on key either, y’know.

Fabulous sophisticated jazz pop artists, they have gotten even better with time. One of the most underrated groups imo.

I would never.

They were compared to EBTG when the first appeared, but quickly went the jazz/pop route, and EBTG went the dance/drum&bass route. Personally, I love them both.

EBTG is miles better in every possible way.
