Here’s “I Feel Love,” by the Blue Man Group. Singing is Annette Strean of Venus Hum.
A side note: I thought about asking Paula to wear that lighted dress for the wedding, but felt it was rude to make Well Fed Head pay the electric bill.
A little bit of history: This song is a remake of a historic song by Donna Summer. When she performed it, it was the first song done with entirely electrical instruments. No guitars, no keyboard. The Blue Man Group said it was important to reclaim this song by using guitars, drums and their signature PVC-piped instruments.
Knowing that made the song pretty cool, in my eyes. Er, ears. And then I met Paula.
Too often, love songs are slow, introspective and meditative. But “I Feel Love” sounds like what love should sound like. The feeling Paula gives me leaves me feeling happy and energetic; like the world is a beautiful place, all I needed was her help to see it. And the song perfectly captures that emotion.
This is likely overkill, but here’s a killer live version of the song below, with proper tributes to Devo and Black Sabbath. Enjoy:
