Jeez, I forgot the Stones even released a record in 83--Undercover, yes? I don't think I've EVER heard this on the radio before, in 1983 or since. A bust-out for 10@10?


I heard this on KISW in Seattle with regularity, but probably not since.  Hard to believe a Stones tune is the Gomer of the set, but...

"too Much Blood" indeed. Not my fave Stones but it gets points for being underplayed -- maybe even a breakout/Gomer?

Let's break it back in, then.  WOS.

"Undercover" is a pretty cool Stones song from around this period. "Too Much Blood" is just silly.

Talking Heads would be nice, or Psych Furs. Or anything off Let's Dance that's not China Girl.

Will side-project Bowie do, sir?  Looks like it's this for my BOS.

HM cuz I like it: "Cat People" by Der Bowie. I wasn't too keen on the movie, though. And considering it had a repeatedly naked Nastassia Kinski in it you'd think I would have liked it. But, no.

Yep, this will work. And it actually was on Let's Dance, even tho it had been released previously on the Cat People sdtrk. The first time I (and most people) heard anything of Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Let's get right to it.

Silly?  You gonna call these lyrics silly?

I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
To make some love
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
And make some love

I can feel it in the air
Feel it up above
Feel the tension everywhere
There is too much blood
Too much blood, well alright

Everything you see
On the movie screen is tame
Everything's gonna be arranged

A friend of mine was this Japanese. He had a girlfriend in
Paris. He tried to date her in six months and eventually she
said yes. You know he took her to his apartment, cut off her
head. Put the rest of her body in the refrigerator, ate her
piece by piece. Put her in the refrigerator, put her in the
freezer. And when he ate her and took her bones to the Bois de
Boulogne, by chance a taxi driver noticed him burying the
bones. You don't believe me? Truth is stranger than fiction.
We drive through there every day.

I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
Be number one, yeah
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
And have some fun

I can feel it everywhere
Feel it up above
Feel the tension in the air
There is too much blood, too much blood
Too much, yeah too much blood, alright

Did you ever see 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre'? Horrible, wasn't
it? You know people ask me: it is really true where you live
in Texas, it is really true what they do around there, people?
I say, "yeah everytime I drive through the crossroads I get
scared there's a bloke running around with a fucking chain
saw. Oh oh no, gonna, oh no. Don't saw off me leg, don't saw
off me arm." When I get to the movies, you know I'd like to
see something more romantic, you know. Like 'An Officer and a
Gentleman' or something. Something you can take the wife to,
you know what I mean?

Yeah!

I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
And have some fun
I want to dance, I want to sing
I want to bust up everything
And make some love

I can feel it everywhere
Feel it up above
Feel the tension in the air
There is too much blood, too much blood
Oh yeah

Pretty ladies, don't be scared
Pretty ladies, don't be scared
Pretty ladies, don't be scared
Pretty ladies, don't be scared

Pretty ladies, don't despair
There's still so much love
Pretty ladies, don't despair
Too much, too much, yeah
Too much blood, too much blood
Too much too much blood, too much blood
Too much blood, too much blood............


well, yeah.

Looks like Bowie just got trumped for my BOS vote by REM. Talk About the Passion. I'm thinking we've heard this before, but still nice to hear.

BOS = anything from Murmur.

I would listen to this literally endlessly.  And U2's War & UB40's Labour of Love.
