furthermore, I think R2's noises in the vicinity of 2:40 translate in English roughly to "Disco was NOT in my contract! Aiyeeeeee!"

Anything "Star Wars"-related when I was a child was wonderful to me. I probably thought this was the best song ever when I was four years old, although I've never heard this version before, unless it's the same one Jason posted on his site last year. Meco's theme for "The Empire Strikes Back" isn't bad either.

Just as I was starting to wonder "how did this only reach #8 on the Club Play chart," I hit the extended parts I'd never heard before. Yeah, five minutes of that is definitely enough.

I LOVED this as a kid, as well as Meco's version of Empire Strikes Back. I still enjoy 'em as a familiar piece o' cheese.
I found his version of music from the Wizard of Oz on a blog recently, and was playing it while over a friends' place a few weeks ago. "This is hot" was uttered.

Wow. Two million copies. That's a lot of cheese. I still have this from my childhood. My brother and I played it so much that it sounds like, well, a stylus dragged through cheese. We just couldn't believe so much excellence could reside in one record.
