07/30/2008: "Get You Through The Week Eye Candy"
)
So, the good news (at least for me) is that I'm headed out for 4 days of marlin fishing starting this afternoon. The bad news is that means no new posts until next Monday (I refuse to post from the BlackBerry while on the water - you have to draw the line somewhere). Now, I could just leave it at that, but that would mean no Weekend Eye Candy, and I'm still stinging from the last time I did that. So, we'll just have to set you up with something to get you through the week and the weekend.
Every once in a while, I'll stumble across a picture that is so compelling that I just have to use it. Sometimes I don't even know how I'll fit it in, but I'll hang on to it until I find a way. Same goes for the Eye Candy. While I try and be topical, witty, or some combination of the two, every once in a while I'll come across something that just demands that I use it. This is one of those times.
Frankly, I have no idea who Pernilla Lundberg is. But, fortunately, Wikipedia does:
Sunblock is an electronic music group from Sweden. The people behind the music, Magnus Nordin and Martin Pihl are often behind the scenes, with dancers Oksana Andersson, Rebecka Simonsson and Pernilla Lundberg being the focal point of the group.
The group have remixed the Baywatch official theme "I'll Be Ready" in 2006, reaching #4 in the UK Singles Chart. (It charted a week after another group Naughty Boy also remixed the same song, but their version "Phat Beach (I'll Be Ready)" only reached #36 on the same chart.)
Their second single "First Time" is a remix of the 80's hit song by Robin Beck. The original song featured on Coca Cola adverts in the 80's.
Sunblock's third single is a cover of a 1995 single by Corona called "Baby Baby" and features Sandy Chambers.
Hmm ... techno pop duo remaking Coca-Cola theme music. Safe to say they won't be making my iPod anytime soon. But, at least one of their dancers can hold her head high knowing she's hit the pinnacle of her career with the title of Weekend Eye Candy ...
