美國實力歌姬［蘿拉布蘭妮根］──合成流行曲──［Spanish Eddie／西班牙艾迪］

There was heat in the air

And cops everywhere you looked

So there wasn't a lot

And the breaks that you got You know you took

And I remember wonderin' Where you been

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio

The night Spanish Eddie fell from grace

There was amazement on his face

On the night that Eddie failed Sanity prevailed

It was June or July

When the heat from above beat down

It was famine or drought

When the brothers went out Of syle uptown

And we was mixin' Vicks with lemon gin

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

They were playin "Desolation Row" On the radio

The night Spanish Eddie made front page

His revolution came of age

He wrote "Surrender" on the wall

The night he took the fall

I heard someone say "He's tryin' to fly"

Like Eddie used to say We'll do when we die

I know someone turned you For a spin

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

The night Spanish Eddie cashed it in

They were playin' "Desolation Row" On the radio

１９８５年７月　３３歲的美國實力歌手蘿拉布蘭妮根（Laura Branigan）推出第四張大碟〔Hold Me〕

除了長期合作的德國製作人Jack White外, 並加入同屬德籍的Harold Faltermeyer共同執掌製作大任外, 另有美國音樂人為Mark Spiro為副製作人

首支主打為［Spanish Eddie／西班牙艾迪］  由David Palmer & Chuck Cochran譜寫

Jack White將其製作成一首合成流行曲  編曲華麗　有著明快的舞曲節拍

MV中, 蘿拉扮演舞者

只是這回市場反應不如先前的單曲

［Spanish Eddie］只升到美國單曲榜＃４０──也是本輯名次最高的主打　

成為布蘭妮根首張沒有Top２０熱門曲的大碟

由於三首單曲反應不佳　導致只升到美國榜＃７１　銷售不理想　

成為布蘭妮根首張在美國沒拿到金唱片認證的大碟

也是她事業下滑的開始
