What’s your favourite memory of ‘Lola’s Theme’? 👇
😘💓
Pachá SP Brazil
My ex n I…. This was our favorite tune 20 years ago… n the hook was so applicable… my good time flies…😮
When I learned the name of the track. Obviously the lyrics don’t help.
Mates and myself got invited to the VIP at Mambo when Shapeshifters were on. Martin + Max played it, and we enjoyed more than a few drinks with them and of course the Mambo Brothers. Apparently, the reason we got invited in is that we were the only guys in Mambo not wearing vests 😆Great guys! Already one of my favourite house tracks, and seeing them play it live was the highlight of that trip!
Legendary tune!
No vocal = No number 1
Simply have been too repetitive and not enough elements dipping in and out to keep your attention
Without her vocals, it’s just a sample you stole from an old song you muppet!
Can’t not love this Song
Just from hearing this interview I really feel bad for this dude that made his biggest truck for a woman that ended up divorcing him
The VOCALIST 👩🎤 is EVERYTHING!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
