ROCK Sex: "Strict Machine" - Norman Greenbaum + Donna Summer = Goldfrapp



ROCK Sex says Culture is 1 + 2 = 3.

_______________


How culture works.



One cool thing...

NORMAN GREENBAUM -"Spirit in the Sky" (1969)




...plus another cool thing...

DONNA SUMMER -"I Feel Love" (1977)



...equals a new cool thing.

GOLDFRAPP -"Strict Machine" (2003)




Everybody wins!





Bonus:


And just to make everything perfect, the T-Rex/Glam Rock swagger of "Strict Machine" comes full circle with this genius cover by Suzi Quatro herself!
