I figured this song was about Black Velvet - the Canadian whiskey. <br /><br />Back in my wild years, I had a metal Black Velvet whiskey photo ad hanging on my bedroom wall at the 824 Bay Street house in Santa Monica. I don't recall how I came by it, but I know I didn't steal it. (Some Canadian woman probably gave it to me as a Thank You gift.) <br /><br />The ad (obviously intended for liquor stores) featured a hot chick wearing some black velvet:<br /><br />https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-black-velvet-canadian-whiskey-store-tin <br /><br />I also don't recall what happened to that metal sign, but I probably gave it away or threw it away because the woman was wearing too much clothing and it was bad for my reputation. <br /><b>[;^D</b><br /><br />OK, onto the Battle! . . .<br /><br />The second recording didn't add anything new or different to the original, so gimme the original with Alannah Myles... and make it a double, with a single ice cube... "if you please".<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br />DogGtor of Alcohology & <br />King of Inebriation NationStephen T.

I had read about the history behind the song before.

These ladies have different vocal styles with each just the right music arrangement. Myles has a gritty sexy rock vibe whereas Lee has a pureness to her voice along with a southern rock sound. Normally, I'd got with Alannah I think but this morning <b>Robin</b> steals the show with me! <br /><br /><a href="https://curiousasacathy.com/botb-2021-round-3-showdown-goldfinger/" rel="nofollow">BoTB 2021 Round 3 showdown Goldfinger</a>Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.com
