This set is starting to replicate a lot of my concert-going from the summer of 81 (except for the Cars and the Jam). If we hear El-Rayo X that will seal the deal.


BINGO!!!

I'm bailing in a few, I'm off to be "injected, inspected, detected and selected" as Arlo once said.


Oh my god, Mike's been drafted!!!  :D

Well, no sooner said than done...here's Mr. Dave.

Oy, WOS for "Bette Davis Eyes".  And did he say it was #1 for the year?  No wonder I always thought the 80s sucked.

I know we've dissected the inane lyrics of this one before, but I just gotta reiterate:

"She'll unheeze you"?!?!?!

Yeah, but if it weren't for Kim Carnes, Mark Knopfler woulda been one couplet short in "Industrial Disease" a few months later.

isn't it "unease"?  she sings so breathily there are extra H's in nearly every sentence.

ETA: which is still inane, and but not actually utter nonsense.

Hmm.  Gotta think about what this means.

ETA: Damn.  Two times in a row I've sent a message to Dave and gotten no response.  Didn't even mention my vote for the Pretenders.  (It was late...but still during Kim's epic.)

ETAA: Ahh, Bette Davis kneeeeees.

Yeah, that finally occurred to me after a few minutes of pondering, but it sure doesn't sound like that--and she sings it that way at least three times.

And I'm still not convinced "unease" is a verb.

jackie deshannon says:

Bette Davis Eyes
Donna Weiss/Jackie De Shannon
Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips a sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll turn the music on you
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious and she knows
Just what it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo stand off sighs
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on her throne
She got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come up blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you
When she snooze you
Off your feet with the crumbs she trows you
She's ferocious and she knows
Just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious and she knows
Just what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll tease you
She'll unease you
Just to please you
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll expose you
When she snooze you
She knows you
She's got Bette Davis eyes

but you're right - "unease" is not a verb.

ha! i just noticed the obvious typos in the lyrics i posted. but a google search for the correct lyrics yielded even funnier lines like, "when she snows you." so i'll just leave it as it is.
