Dionne Warwick - I Say A Little Prayer
Intended by lyricist Hal David to convey a woman's concern for her man who's serving in the Vietnam War, it was recorded by Dionne Warwick in a 9 April 1966 session. Although Bacharach's recordings with Warwick typically took no more than three takes (often only taking one), Bacharach did ten takes on "I Say a Little Prayer" and still disliked the completed track, feeling it was rushed.

José Prates - Nanã Imborô
Sometimes it's difficult to tell what the 'original' recording is.
In 1958, José Prates recorded a track called "Nanã Imborô" that appears on his album Tam... Tam... Tam...! (1958, Polydor Brasil), which features the underlying melody and vocalizations later used by Jorge Ben in "Mas que Nada"; these motifs would be further highlighted by Sergio Mendes’ arrangement in his version of the song in 1966.

Gerade in Inside Out/Alles steht Kopf 2 gewesen. Originalversion (Englisch).
Hat mega Spaß gemacht, der Film ist für mich keine Fortsetzung nur um aus der Marke mehr Geld zu ziehen, sondern sehr originell und eine gelungene Verbindung aus altem Konzept und neuen Ideen, find ich empfehlenswert 🙂
Und OV hat sich auch gelohnt - erstens war außer mir und Lieblingsmensch nur eine weitere Person im Saal, zweitens passen die Stimmen echt gut (auch wenn ich das jetzt natürlich nicht mit der Synchro vergleichen kann. Das erste mal OV im Kino, aber bestimmt nicht das letzte 😃.
