The World Is At A Standstill

Theya Hermann “Champagne and the Starline” – I know next to nothing about this song other than that it is hopelessly out of print and apparently dates back to the 70s. It was included on the very rare compilation Satin Dustbin, but I cannot find any store which carries that title online. Anyway, it’s a ridiculously cheerful glam pop tune about dealing with the day to day ramifications of the oil crisis. There’s something very reassuring about this song – I totally believe Theya when she sings “don’t despair, cutey baby loves you and she’s always gonna be there.” Well, thank God for that, right?
