Are there any liqors better than anise spirits ones.. ? Also, which is the best of that type? Sambuca? Pernod? Absinthe.. ? -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:37 13
- Sambuca. Used to slam it as a kid and sip and enjoy as a “mature” adult. -- nm - VMan Aug 2, 20:54
- Ouzo, Strega, Aquavit that are heavy into that anise/fennel flavor. Gran Mariner for an orange blast. Benedictine Pimms -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 2, 18:27 1

    - Google-fu, black belt that guy -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:37
  - Well, I simply did not know this song, and you know why.. ? I'm simply too young. It's 1982, so early eighties, not late.. I don't really hear samba.. -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:25 2
    - I guessed it was late 80s from first hearing it sometimes in 90-92. Today was the first time I’d heard it again since. -- nm - Qale Aug 2, 17:40 1
      - I'm a bit of an 80s music and pop culture afficionado, but... And anyway, before 1984 is mostly too early for me. - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:46
  - Yes! You got it. Thankuuuu! +80 Qale Points. -- nm* - Qale Aug 2, 17:23 6

- Endicott? -- (link) - gort Aug 2, 17:21 [youtube] 4
  - I grew up on Kid Creole & His Coconuts, amongst other music - my dad owned a tape of theirs. But this is 1985 and Manhattan club vibes - not samba? -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:23 2
    - I knew of them from their appearance on SNL and they played Expo 86 in Vancouver. Great live show. -- nm - gort Aug 2, 17:30 1
      - Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy has the cheekiest lyrics.. -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:33
  - No. But I do like that silliness. -- nm - Qale Aug 2, 17:22
- Male/female vocal? Any accents.. ? (British/Canadian/US etc?) -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:16
- Surely not "Waiting for a Star to Fall"? How samba-like and do you remember any precise lyrical snippets.. ? -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:16 4
  - Very samba, but also so obviously 80s with a sax and percussion hit several times after that line. Male vocals. -- nm - Qale Aug 2, 17:18 3
    - Sounds like maybe Chris Rea? British guy -- nm - Ore-o Aug 2, 17:22 2
