Given the size of her current majority, very probably. -

Whom Are You Tarring With The Epithet "twunt"?
Great Uncle Bulgaria replied to maryportfuncity's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
Just brought up my Twuntdom-qualifying post on the KoS thread. Accolades, floral tributes etc happily received. Like several others around these parts, all I've done for the last 200 or so is play KoS tbh. -

I've never heard of this song nor Black Legend. Seems to be a fairly strong tendency for the more successful versions to be exponentially worse in terms of quality. Do you think they are basically able to unjustifiably leverage the legacy of their superior no.2 predecessors? No, I don't think there's any crossover/leftover positive feelings at all. It will have done it all on its own. As someone who bought a Barry White single in the 70s (not this one admittedly) I'd long since given up buying singles (and largely listening to current chart music) by 2000 and have no recollection of this cover at all. -

First record I possessed. I can still sing all 8 verses if called upon to do so in a crisis. My constantly singing it must have been wearing for my family, but then again it was their fault for buying it for me. I was very young at the time. And no, I won't be upvoting it. -
