Flashback!

I love rediscovering something that I had forgotten about.

A few days ago I caught the last 10 seconds on Robert Palmer's Simply Irresistible on the radio and couldn't get it out of my head. So yesterday I pulled it off iTunes, cranked up the stereo and annoyed the neighbors while dancing aound the house with my daughter.

"She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went..."

Love that song.

I actually bought a compilation CD with about 20 songs on it just to get that song. (Try finding the Little River Band at your local retailer, (this was a few years before Amazon))

Sad they were so unknown, they had one of the most amazing combinations I ever heard.

Am I showing my age by saying I have no idea what the hell you two are talking about?

A little before your time I believe CD.

I've been having songs by The Crash Test Dummies running through my head all day.

Don't download. I have no money for such things. And since I have no virus checker, downloading free stuff is not a good idea.

Ummm... yeah.

They had a couple hits in the early 80s. The band was actually formed by Malcolm McLaren, who managed The Sex Pistols and Adam and the Ants. When Adam got a big head and decided to leave the band behind, Malcolm went in search of a new gimmicky front for the band and found Annabelle Lwen,14 yrs old, bebopping and singing to headphones in a dry cleaners shop. He got them into the studio playing songs with a stomp beat and everything clicked.

PM me an e-mail addy and I'll gladly send you some of their stuff. But I warn you, it's fast and furious music to say the least. The basist ALWAYS sounds like he's playing a lead solo and the drummer is pounding away like nothing you ever heard. When Annabelle sings you just can't help feeling all is right with the world.

I had a crush on her ... with her funky hair.

I actually had a nice flashback from High School I sang Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy at Karaoke the other night.

If you're talking about The Andrews Sisters' version, I'm gonna smack you on the but and call you a liar.
