If you really want to talk music mash-ups, just contrast Olivia with what Linda Ronstadt was doing at the same period. This song above versus Ronstadt's "Hurt So Bad" a few months later for an example. Perhaps the music press should have set them against each other as pop culture archrivals.

Hey.

Monday I went with Dad to Mountain Home VA Hospital so he could get a check-up. On the way back we were listening to the Knoxville NPR station's classical music program and they were playing Ketelbey's "In A Persian Market".

( Listen Here )

Afterwards Dad quipped that the chorus reminded him of Florida State Seminoles fans--or Atlanta Braves fans as well, I suppose--cheering sections at a home game.

PS: I know the chorus is really saying (free translation)...
Give Us! Give Us! Money for the poor
Give Us! Give Us! Money for the poor
Give Us! Give Us! Money for the poor
Thank You! Thank You! Good Day!
