"Wishin' and Hopin'" by Teen Queens

 

Short lived Sydney, Australia band of models turned singers Teen Queens give East Orange, New Jersey singer Dionne Warwick's 1963 single "Wishin' and Hopin'" the manufactured pop treatment.

For another Warwick cover, Blue Lagoon's version of "Heartbreaker" can be found here.

"Heartbreaker" by Blue Lagoon

 

German reggae dance duo Blue Lagoon (not to be confused with the early 1980's borderline child porn of the same name) take Dionne Warwick's 1982 tearjerker (and one of the biggest hits of her 50+ year career) and toss in some lively island vibes.  Because... just because.

Lead vocalist Patricia Gerndt is completely on point.  The steel drums and palitos and what not, though out of place in a song explicitly dealing with emotional pain, sound great.  Gerndt's male counterpart should stick to mixing or producing, though, and just shut the hell up already.
