    Can't believe I missed ten years of listening to this. I love the voices the accents and they have a Boston accent as well. They look like the love "singin"! Bless them.

      that is actually a german accent. there certainly people of german descent in boston, but way more irish people. (the twins are from austria, but austrian people happen to speak german).

    The girls (now ladies in their mid-20's) were only 14. They played all the instruments and directed the video. Wow. The harmonies are amazing.

    hey Junije :D
    We're from Austria so the accent is German. We tried our best & hope it's not too strong ;)

      MonaLisa Twins Love the accent. It doesn't hurt a thing, and actually adds a layer, like adding spices to a good meal.

      Mona and Lisa, you speak English very well and very clearly, and I am very familiar with your accent and your culture, for family-related reasons. Your singing & music is consistently excellent, as well as the overall production of your work. Thanks so much and keep up the wonderful work! Keep having fun! :)

    This is one of my old Twins favorites. The three California songs really seemed to get things going for them. My favorite part of the video is where the 14 year old girls bring those two big horses to a quick halt as one of the horses kicks out.

    I found you both the day before my twin sisters 70th birthday. I sent them this one because I always loved it. They were nearly 16 when it was released. You brought this song back to life. As I was 11 years younger than my big sisters, watching you both reminded me what it was like being with them growing up. I am going through all your work now (I almost sent them a Beatles cover you did as one of them stayed out all night to get a ticket to see them when they came to our home town, she was far too young to do that and got told off). I am amazed and often amused by what you do. I hope I can catch you live next time you perform in London. M

  • @billdescoteaux
    @billdescoteaux 9 лет назад +5

    And to think that they were only 14 when they did this..... I think they turn 21 this month. I think that these two are the best thing music has going today. They are bringing renewed youth to the great music of the 60s, and will hopefully keep the music alive for the rest of this century. Hopefully these two make it to 106 and still be rocking!

    • @tjvanpopta
      @tjvanpopta 9 лет назад +1

      +Bill Descoteaux 100% agree with you bill. So good at age 14! Now at age 21 they are amazing! Watch the new video "two of us" Again a magnificant beatles cover. You are correct: they are the best thing music has going today,that,s for sure! The music industry nowadays is a crying shame so maybe there is hope with these multi talented sisters.
