Annie Covers Stacey Q

thumbnail icon: Annie Covers Stacey Q

Internet-approved pop fix Annie has been dishing out pieces of her new bubblegum here and there, although her long awaited second LP Don't Stop is already circulating in full around the dodgier corners of the web. And contrary to initial reports, the first single from the album was not a cover of Stacey Q's awesome '80s dance jam "Two Of Hearts" -- in fact the track's producer Richard X has a post that asks we "be patient, my children." You can probably update that now, Mr. X. As far as covers go, file this one under "logical pairing" and "pretty reverent" and "probably unnecessary but very downloadable."

Annie - "Two Of Hearts" (MP3)

Check out this seamless segue into bonus Facts Of Life facts: There was this one time Tootie tried really hard to get on Broadway and decided that "Two Of Hearts" was the way to make that happen. Oh, Tootie. Well, she sucked. But then later Stacey Q appeared in a pink leotard and showed her how a real professional sways her hips while lip syncing at the same time, in character as Tootie's rival named Cinnamon.

YouTube and Wiki were invented for posts like this. Anyway, Annie's Don't Stop is out sometime next year on Island. Hear an album track, "My Love Is Better," at MySpace.

extra bonus Facts of Life fact. Stacey Q actually guest starred in TWO episodes of Facts of Life. The first episode had such stellar ratings, that they brought her back as the successful "Cinnamon" singer/actor who couldn't handle her fame, so she ran away...but Tootie talked her into going back to the fame and glory of her day job.

Both episodes were so popular that the writers of Facts of Life talked about spinning off a show featuring Stacey Q as Cinnamon. But Stacey Q's manager thought it would distract from her musical career too much, so they advised her against it.

And that is way too much info about Ms. Q.
