Olivia Newton-John & Cliff Richard - Suddenly from Xanadu
This song is hilarious for a lot of reasons. First off, it comes from Xanadu, one of the biggest musical flops ever in a decade full of musical flops. Second, similar to "The Producers" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", it got remade into a Broadway musical. And could this video be any more 70s in its feel? I mean, the clothes, the decor, the flaming fireplace in the porntastic lounge...
No wonder this is currently one of my favorite songs! :P
I plan to sing this as a duet with Penny at the next Broadway-oke, if it ever pushes through.
She walks in I'm suddenly a hero
I'm taken in my hopes begin to rise
Look at me can't you tell I'd be so
Thrilled to see the message in your eyes
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there
Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cos I I'm ready to take all my chances with you
How can I feel you're all that matters
I'd rely on anything you say
I'll take care that no illusions shatter
If you dare to say what you should say
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there
Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cos I I'm ready to take all my chances with you
Why do I feel so alive when you're near
There's no way any hurt can get thru'
Longing to spend every moment of the day with you
Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cos I I'm ready to take all my chances with you
