ELEANOR BODEL - ONE WAY TICKET

If you're a girl group fan this is a MUST!

Eleanor Bodel is a Swedish one hit wonder who hit the charts big time with the title track of this album, a cover of Neil Sedaka's One Way Ticket. She released four albums but never managed another hit. She has a voice somewhat reminiscent of both Mary Weiss and Mary Aiese (of the Shangri-Las and Delrons respectively)

This is her second album, mixing both english and swedish songs with almost no weak tracks.
She opens with the infectious One Way Ticket which is absolutely irresistible. Then comes a somewhat annoying ditty which you can skip before listening to three absolutely gorgeous tracks! Just take a look at some of the lyrics:

From Now On:
'From now on there'll be music and dancing and moonlight romancing'

The Girls Want The Boys:
'The girls want the boys for the money, the boys want the girls just for fun' - I mean, how can you not love it?!

To Love Somebody:
'To love somebody is to hurt somebody, to tear someone's heart in two'

The rest of the album comes of as filler in comparison but there a few good tunes - though for some reason her pronounciation is markedly worse in the later songs...
