    Listening to a 70s playlist on Amazon Music called Radio Hits Of The 70s. On right now is this one. I'm pretty sure I've used this one in the past.

    Vicki Sue Robinson + Gloria Estefan = [song]

    Turn the Beat Around

    I like how true to the original Snra Estefan's version is. With my eyes closed Its hard to tell which one is performing (though high note before the last refrain gives it away, VSL went higher :) )

    Yup. Good stuff. Someone else said they thought Estefan's version was more like a tribute than a remake. Sounds right to me.

    I liked the lyrics trivia, so ...
    Okay, picking up on this theme, with a variation I'll call:
    When Rockers, Rap
    Can you ID the song by it's 80's obligatory RAP refrain?

    When you hear the music you make a dip,
    Into someone else's pocket then make a slip.
    Steal a car and go to Las Vegas? Oh, the gigolo pool.

    Looks like a clue is needed. This is from the opening (non-rap) from the same song

    Don't call me on the phone

    Is that an album cover? Looks like Joan of Arc and then dogs playing poker and not sure on the last one.

    It is an album cover
    I’m looking for artist and album :)
    (The last picture is the cover of a previous album by this group)

    'No brainer'? and I guessed it....What exactly are you implying here, missy! :wink:

    Okay, since we're long overdue one how's about a Rock+Roll Venn Diagram ?
