This CD does what it says on the tin - versions of famous instrumentals with lyrics added. While a few are clearly tongue-in-cheek, others are played straight and work really well. Not all the songs here have had lyrics written specifically for this album - You Can Count on Me is a cover of Sammy Davis Jr.'s vocal version of the Hawaii 5-0 Theme from the early 1970s and I have heard a version of Popcorn with lyrics before. Many of these work really well: Magic Star is "Telstar" but manages to recapture the magic of the original space-race instrumental. Apache becomes a love song. Walk Don't Run gives a rationale for the title. But the best track on the CD is Honky Tonk. I have no idea if there were lyrics ever written for the original, or if these were written for Dickerson but the fact I can't tell shows how well they fit the Bill Doggett classic. Be warned, though, if you think Popcorn sticks in your head now, just wait till you hear it with lyrics!
