TRACK 11 Jaymz Bee And The Royal Jelly Orchestra CLOSER TO THE HEART from the album COCKTAIL: SHAKIN' & STIRRED Jaymz Bee - vocals The Royal Jelly Orchestra

1996 Milan 73138 35815-2 track 6 of 11 3:46

Canada's answer to Austin Powers converts Canadian rock hits into lounge music for space age bachelor pads.

Steve Says

Jaymz Bee used to make very weird music as the main lunatic in a band called Look People. Now he has turned to lounge music and has even written a book, Cocktail Parties For Dummies. The Royal Jelly Orchestra was originally formed as a tongue-in-cheek act for the first Kumbaya Festival. This amazingly cool cd takes Canadian rock standards and transforms them into lounge lizard fodder. So put on your Hugh Hefner robe and pipe and give this a listen.
