Hello, Kittens & Dawgs! I slipped up on you, didn’t? Originally, I planned to return full force with two battles beginning next month but I figured it’s time to get right back where I started from now that summer is almost unofficially over with Labor Day just days away.
In today’s showdown, I’m using the 1975 international hit by Maxine Nightingale Get Right Back Where We Started From. The song didn’t reach the US until January the following year and went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 on May 1, 1976.
Covers are limited for this classic but I rustled together two bands to compete for the golden mic in this contest and surprisingly it’s turned into a battle between the sexes.
In the 2000 children’s flick, An Extremely Goofy Movie, Disney used the all-girl R&B group from England, Cleopatra, to sing the song for the animation feature.
Once again, Disney used Nightingale’s song in 2008 for Shrek Forever After but this time using the American indie rock band, Army Navy.
Who gets your vote, Cleopatra or Army Navy?

I appreciate you guys for checking in on me after my ear tube surgery. Things are going well. My hearing remains muffled and I think this is something I have to live with for now. The loss in hearing due to chronic ear infections as a child is considered moderate to severe in the right ear and the left is only a little better. Who knew, right? I might have to think about hearing aids eventually but I just even go there now. That’s something I’m having a difficult time accepting. Thanks for your prayers and thoughts!
With it being the weekend and a holiday one at that, so I’m MIA in Blogosphere. Don’t worry, I will do return visits to all who leave a comment. Mark your calendar for September 10th to discover who gets my vote and to see if your favorite is named the winner.
Join me on the dance floor with Monday’s
X💋X💋, Cathy
