Lately I've been thinking about the truly excellent For Your Height Only, and decided I need to know more about its star, 3-foot kung-fu superstar Weng Weng. After some research, I found this site:
http://www.trashvideo.com.au/wengweng.htmThis is a very informative article, with all the information I could really ask for about the guy. One line, however, caught my eye:
"In 1990 he was awarded a special citation for services to the Filipino Film Industry from the first lady Imelda Marcos and joined her at the presentation in a special karaoke 'duet' version of 'My Way'. An unauthorized recording of their performance was later released on bootleg cassette and sold an incredible 200,000 copies."
WHAT?! Weng Weng and Imelda Marcos singing "My Way?!" Why have I not heard this? Anyone know if I can find a copy? If this is true, it'd be the most amazing cover of "My Way" since Sid Vicious', and the most amazing duet since Tiny Tim and Bob Dylan sang "I Got You Babe."
