Geri Halliwell, Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps

Once again I post with a Doris Day cover. Once again, the cover is much better than the original. I keep this up and no one will believe me when I say how much I adore her. Poor Doris.

But really, the reason I post these is because they’re excellent. These songs have to be to be better than Doris’s versions.

I’m inclined to think Miss Former Ginger Spice does good work anyway, but her version of Doris Day’s “Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps” (from her 1963 album Latin For Lovers), is part bubbly Doris homage & part ABBA homage, with a little bit of disco thrown in.

Geri’s 2000 CD single “Bag It Up” includes “Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps” and a cover of Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’.” The latter is, of course, not quite up to Nancy’s, (but then, I consider that one of nature’s perfect pop songs) but millions of miles better than that damn Jessica Simpson’s. Get your hands on this CD single if you can.
