Taken from the self-titled debut album, Violent Femmes.
As Violent Femmes celebrate their 40th year together, Craft Recordings is pleased to honor the band’s enduring catalog of cult classics with the digital and long out-of-print vinyl reissue of Add It Up (1981-1993). Available to order here: found.ee/vf-additup
The 23-track compilation features Violent Femmes biggest hits, including “Blister in the Sun,” “American Music,” and “Gone Daddy Gone,” plus live recordings of favorites like “Add It Up,” and “Kiss Off,” alongside a trove of demos, B-sides, interstitial voice recordings, and rarities. Housed in a gatefold jacket, the 2-LP set was pressed at Memphis Records Pressing, with lacquers cut by George Horn at Fantasy Studios.

You Know a song is good when it is still played on the radio 40 years later and it didn't even chart.

@tommydeamon7657 Год назад

That is a good indicator

1983. That was a long time ago. Such a long time ago. Third grade, for me. But these cats aren't as older than me than they used to be. By 1987, I was into them. I found out about The Fall in 1989. I always felt like I was an outlier, I didn't have good taste. Boy was I wrong. The Cure, Depeschkljljas Mode, Nitzer Ebb, all these are good, but the first was the best, and the most: you take one, one, one for your family....

I would say actually that this song and many others on the album are masterpieces. These guys figured out how to bottle up all the guy angst and concerns of teenage guys and play it with passion and immediacy in a bizarre folk/hybrid fusion that never before existed (and never has since) but sounded inevitable none the less.

I was watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch from like 1996 or 1997 on Hulu, and they go to a Violent Femmes concert in one of the episodes. I looked them up to see if they were an actual band, and I kinda like their music. I’m usually into extreme metal, but they’re not too bad.

By "extreme metal" did you mean Falling in Reverse and Escape the Fate?

Years ago, around 1992, I remember seeing Melissa Joan Hart on Arsenio Hall or Dennis Miller or one of those shows, and she mentioned that the Femmes were one of her favorite bands. Which I thought was pretty cool.
