A Man From Argentina


After years of browsing and soul-searching, I've finally found the most heartbreakingly perfect song. Hint: the band's from Sweden, and the lead singer's a transvestite.



The track is "A Man From Argentina," by the eclectic band Billie the Vision and the Dancers. But nevermind names. (Please, don't mind their name.) At just over 3 minutes, this song features: an extremely catchy acoustic riff; a touching horn solo or two; the heartfelt reminiscences of a gender-challenged lead; and the most touching Jackson 5 quotation I've ever heard. You can dance to it, or you can cry to it, and I've done both. Plus, it's released on their own label: Love Will Pay the Bills.
