Should have seen Missing Persons coming.  Would like this even better if she didn't cheapen herself with that Betty Boop bullshit.


paging Cyndi Lauper... Gwen Stefani... Madonna...


All of whom sound better when they're not vocalizing like 13 year old anime bubbleheads.

So of course I shall give it BOS.

Even though I hate it when Tokyo is pronounced with three syllables (pet peeve).

Heh. I loved "Jenny 867-5309" back in '82. Fond memories.

I'm there with you.  It gets the MCOS (Most College of Set) award from me.

"Jenny Jenny, you're the girl for me
... you make me so ____________"

There's no way "happy" was the original lyric. Methinks a label gelding suggested a word switch to avoid offending.

Huh?  You mean, "Mos-c-cow," like "Cha-ka-Khan"?  I'm confused.

"For me / Horny"

Oh, yeah. OK. That works. Ah, those were innocent times. Now? "Horny" is considered downright polite.

OK, not really- but now I have that goddamn "Horny" song stuck in my head. Y'know, that one that woman sings? You know.

Something I never pulled out of this song, but according to Allmusic they are mourning the loss of John Lennon in these lyrics.
