90s countdown

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

The Billy Joel song was everywhere in 1993.

I just looked it up on youtube. I can honestly say I have never heard it. However, I really like it. I can add it post-1993 to my good list.

02 01 UB40 - Can't Help Falling in Love

My sister-in-law got married in 2005. She wanted her first dance to be this upbeat version song. Her mother wanted it to be the sappy original by Elvis. So I made a custom mashup where the first 2/3rds of the song were the original, the tempo increases slightly as it fades and the last 1/3 is the UB40 remake.

Then she divorc...um, "got legally separated" a year later. But that's a whole nother story...

 

[HecticArt]

Wow......your song ruined their marriage.
What power.

Maybe a 50/50 mix would have worked better.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

They don't call him the "Divorce Singer" for nothing.

So it turned out that she could help falling in love.

 

[sadchild]

She couldn't help falling in love... again... while married.

 

[MonoStereo]

She couldn't help falling in love... again... while married.

So UB40 gave way to UB Cheatin'?

 

[Channel98]

Can't Help Falling In Love has been recorded by more than 500 artists including Bono, Bob Dylan, Al Martino, Corey Hart, Andy Williams, Julio Iglesias, Richard Marx, Neil Diamond, Brenda Lee, Dick Smothers, Marty Robbins, Shirley Bassey, Doris Day, Patti Page, Hall & Oates, We Five, the Lettermen and the Stylistics. Here is the Stray Cats' version, from their 1993 album Original Cool. Is it just me or was Brian Setzer trying too hard to sound like Elvis?

their 1993 album

Stray Cats were still releasing albums in 1993? Who knew!

Last song I remember of theirs was "Look At That Cadillac" ('84?)

...aside from their 2019 song "Cat Fight"
