Mr Macho Man

Richard Lam's lyric manuscript of the song Mr Macho Man, written in August 1987.
According to the manuscript, the song is intended to be sung by Ann Bridgewater and the proposed titles include "Mr Macho Man", "Women today" and "Mr. Macho Man". The song in this is likely to be an unreleased work of Richard Lam; The lyrics of the songs Mr Macho Man and Devil’s cauldron by Poon Wai Yuen, are both adapted from the same song Hey you sung by Modern Talking. The song Devil’s cauldron was also sung by Ann Bridgewater, first released in the album Happy church (1988). At that time, record labels might have invited several lyricists to write lyrics for the same piece music, but ultimately chose the works of others.
