A FEW BY CHERI including MURPHY'S LAW from 1982

Cheri were composed of Rosalind Hunt and Amy Roslyn.  Rosalind was of course Geraldine Hunt's daughter who had the #1 disco smash Can't Fake the Feeling.  Rosalind's brother Freddie James also had some disco hits including the massive Get up and Boogie.  CAN'T FAKE THE FEELING if you're not feeling what I'm feeling...



Even though Cheri only had two albums they did rack up a few huge disco hits including Give it to me Baby, Star Struck and their biggest hit 1982's Murphy's Law which had that unforgettable chorus that sounded like it was sung by a robotic chipmunk.  MURPHY'S LAW
THE GALS WERE FROM MONTREAL AND GIVE IT TO ME BABY IS SUNG PARTIALLY IN FRENCH  STAR STRUCK
My friend Greg Womack did a fabulous edit of Give it to me Baby a couple years ago so I figured I'd round out the post with this gem too.  THE WOMACK REWORK






I hate to tell you, but I got a bit of bad news
I don't love you no more
I see life is like a circle
Everything you do comes back to you
(Got it all together, don't you, baby)
Murphy's Law, sure out to get you
(Got it all together, don't you, baby)
Murphy's Law, sure out to get you
You know the car, you missed the last payment
The finance company came and towed it away, towed it away
And the money that you owe to your best friend
You don't owe him no more
'Cause the ring that you bought me for my birthday
I cashed it in at the store
(Got it all together, don't you, baby)
Murphy's Law, sure out to get you
(Got it all together, don't you, baby)
Murphy's Law, sure out to get you
You know the girl that you've been foolin' around with
She got married today
What happened to your brand new house
Someone took it away
(Got it all together, don't you, baby)
Murphy's Law, sure out to get you
(Got it all together, don't you, baby)
Murphy's Law, sure out to get you
(Hey, what is Murphy's Law)
(I dunno)
Murphy's Law
(I think, well, lemme see)
(I think whatever could go wrong will go wrong)
(That means we're in big trouble)
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Murphy's Law, sure out to get you
(Got it all together, don't you, baby)
Murphy's Law, sure out to get you
(Got it all together, don't you, baby)
(Got it all together, don't you, baby)
Murphy's Law, sure out to get you
(Got it all together, don't you, baby)
Murphy's Law, sure out to get you
(Got it all together, don't you, baby)
Murphy's Law, sure out to get you
(Got it all together, don't you, baby)
