Ex-club DJ with over 25 years of recorded delights. I'm a vinyl purist, especially 7" 45 rpm records (my favorite format EVER) but have ventured into the digital age. I have a variety of musical taste including 50's, 60's, 70's pop / soul / r&b / disco / new wave / rock / but my forte is pop, new wave and club dance/disco. VINYL FOREVER!!
Cool message lyrically, but man how did this ever make the US dance charts? H17 really lost their ability to write a good hook after The Luxury Gap. This tepid sophisti-pop sounds like a Blow Monkey's throw away.
This is a great song, and I was so happy to find TWO copies of the 45, I wrote a "Junktown" sequence in which Sabrina dreamed that she saw her friends who are in The Junktown Kids performing this song onstage at the Junktown Cafe while dressed as the ladies are on the picture sleeve (except for Brian, of course, who was wearing his "cool dude" black suit and black fedora). When the song was over, the kids and the musicians took a bow, the customers gave them a standing ovation and Sabrina woke up happily from her dream, saying "Totally major awesomonie!" Samantha: "None of the kids in our old neighborhood would play with Sabrina, Franny, and she hardly ever smiled or laughed before we came to Junktown. So we are staying RIGHT HERE!"
I remember seeing these on Top Of The Pop's. And they all had different coloured bin linners on ,+thinking WOW +I wondered if it would catch on? Sadly it didn't :(
