Eye Candy: 'Papaya' by Urszula Dudziak

The World Wide Web is known for hits appearing almost out of nowhere, being made popular by users themselves. The Finnish song "Ievan Polkka", combined with a Japanese anime video, was a great example of such completely unexpected huge popularity. Now a song by a Polish artist is making an international splash, starting with a Filipino TV show and later - together with the accompanying dance - moving to other countries like Japan and Mexico.

Urszula Dudziak is a Polish-born jazz singer, living in the USA since the 1970s. Her 1976 song "Papaya" is a mixture of jazzy vocal techniques and more mainstream funky rhythms. I'm not sure if the "original version" video is also from 1976, but nevertheless it's a lovely piece of eye candy...
