Guilty Pleasure

In 1981 hadden de Stars on 45 verschillende wereldhits met hun discomedleys van de Beatles, Abba, Stevie Wonder en de Rolling Stones.
Onder het mom van ‘beter goed gejat dan slecht bedacht’ maakten het Royal Philharmonic Orchestra en Louis Clark de serie ‘Hooked on Classics’: hetzelfde principe maar dan met klassieke muziek. Deze serie is zeer berucht onder muziekliefhebbers van alle soorten. De Engelse koningin vond van niet: Louis Clark werd later ridder en het orkest kon de titel ‘koninklijk’ houden.

In 1981 the Dutch studio project Stars on 45 had various smash hits around the world with their disco medleys. Pieces of well known songs by the Beatles, Abba, Stevie Wonder and the Rolling Stones and many others were hooked together with an underlying discobeat.
Under the disguise of ‘better well pinched than badly devised’ the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Louis Clark came up with the same thing: they hooked well known pieces classical music together with a discobeat. This series was named ‘Hooked on Classics’and became very infamous under music lovers of all kind. However, the English queen did not disapprove: the orchestra could keep the title ‘royal’ and Louis Clark was knighted.

So from the second album ‘Can’t stop the Classics – Hooked on Classics 2’:
