Oh yeah, 1989 I was 13 and I was entering puberty and found that outfit that that Girl Harmonica player was wearing in this clip at 1:50 "Quite appealing"  ;)

And oh yeah, the bassplayer is playing a Grabber.


Gosh, has it really been that long ago?

oh yeah, I remember this song
you really had to look carefull for that shot, but it was worth it.
Almost as appealing as the quick shot of the Grabber  ;) (which isn't played on this song at all I guess)

I find some of the camera angles have enduring appeal.

And it did start the Lambada craze, forcing middle-aged white couples to move their hips in a way the Good Lord never intended.

 Even if I can't move my hips around like that anymore (I am 50 dammit!) I can tell you all that girl's undies are fun!   ;)

Is it possible that you have an accordion confused with a harmonica?  I can understand SOME distraction, but that seems substantial...unless I'm distracted enough that I missed a harmonica.

Well in Europe the small knob variant of the accordion (with the piano like keys) is called a Harmonica.

But we were both wrong here because what she's playing is called a "Bandoneón"

To continue about the Lambada. Here's a song from the anime series Ranma1/2 called "Ranma Lambada" which is actually a pun, since the R and L are interchangable in japanese so it could either be pronounced as "Ranma Ranbada" or "Lanma Lambada"

To translate what they say:
Akane: In our Tendo dojo.
Tendo's: Our home.
Akane: Ranma who went through hard training.
Tendo's: At Juusenkyo
Genma: It's quite a tragedy.
Male Ranma: When ever I get splashed with water.
Female Ranma: I turn female with all the troubles attached.
Tendo's: Akane's fiancee.

Ooooo......Kaaaayyyyy.....

It's all clear to me now.  Or something.

If it were octagonal, would it be a concertina?  I have one of those I inherited from my dad.

So the zebra girl plays with her small knob? That's all I needed to know.
