When sentiment is left to chance

A thing I like to do on YouTube is search for covers of a classic '80s track. When I'm in that sort of mood, I'll listen to 10-20 of the results, hoping someone has made new magic with the old hit. The latest song I searched for renditions of was Sade's "Smooth Operator" (1984). As sometimes happens, most of the covers I sampled either weren't a patch on the original or were good but too similar. This one stood out, though -

On point in every department. They really make it their own. For some reason, "Smooth Operator" brings to mind a video arcade of my youth that was half games and - of all things - half tropical-themed juice bar. Maybe it was the first place I heard Sade's lovely voice. I tell ya what, this lass more than holds her own. Cracking group of musicians, too. I raise my glass of fresh-squeezed pineapple juice to you, Feeling Blue.
