...but the theme this evening is lupercalia (pagan holiday prior to roman cancellation). so i can only play songs about sex.
 


Have you ever heard an obscure new-wave-ish 80's track by a singer called Hillary?  The repeated phrase is:

drop your pants
around your ankles
you make me shiver
when you deliver


Wow!  Almost like Chi Coltrane's "Thunder and Lightning"!

Already send Dave my preemptive 10-way tie.

Brother Ray confirmed it, and Roberta and Donnie are right in there. Safe to say this will be the Set of the Week.

I MUST find a copy of "Drop your pants" for you.


Per AMG: An obscure but interesting new wave/synth-pop singer who was active in the early 1980s, Hillary made her recording debut with Kinetic. This four-song vinyl EP wasn't a huge seller, although some dance club DJs were hip to quirky, European-influenced selections like "I Live," "Goose Step Two Step," and the title song (all of which were produced by Stephen Hague). Those high-tech tunes are oddly infectious, and the DJs who noticed them tended to be fans of such artists as Berlin, Soft Cell, Thomas Dolby, and the Human League. The track that enjoyed the most attention, however, was "Drop Your Pants," a humorously risqué number that finds Hillary telling a lover, "Drop your pants around your ankles/You make me shiver when you deliver." Long out of print, Kinetic is a record that fans of early 1980s new wave and synth-pop will enjoy if, by some chance, they're able to track down a copy.

Was with you up until the Percy, which is (a) perhaps the most overplayed song ever, and (b) kinda not the kind of message I wanted to hear.
