nameraka Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 This thread is dedicated to the 1978 Barry Manilow Disco classic "Copacabana." Copacabana is a happy little number about a young showgirl who watches her boyfriend get brutally murdered and then spends the next 30 years in an alcohol fueled mental health spiral. We could also discuss hedgehogs. I like hedgehogs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1pooh4u Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Her name was Lola she was a showgirl but that was thirty years ago when they used to have a show now it’s a disco, but not for Lola, still in the dress she used to wear faded feathers in her hair she sits there so refined and she drinks herself half blind. She lost her youth, she lost her Tony, now she’s lost her mind at the copa the Copacabana the hottest spot north of Havana at the copa the Copacabana music and dancing was always the fashion at the copa the Copacabana at the Copa don’t fall in love 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a reason I didn’t do percussion. My brother did like spring drum line in hs because his friends were on it, but he was a bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
