1982 with the Members, not snoring yet
-
Did we just have three 82 topic posts, all deleted and now one reposted?
-
pretty funny, eh?
-
Y'know, this is the first time I've really, really listened to the lyrics of "Working Girl".
This guy's no gentleman at all. I'm just saying.
-
Indeed, a VHM. This is a Narada for me -- don't recall it from the period.
why did Geoff delete his original thread?

He & I both did , then I quickly reposted.
"Working Girl" was played on all the new wave stations I listened to then.

I didn't feel my thread was worthy, since I didn't know the first song. I think it's funny we all killed our opening topics at the same time!
-

appropriate, then, that the 2nd song is "Psychobabble"...

I deleted mine as soon as I saw Geoff's 'cuz I had the sense that he doesn't usually kick these off.
I'm giving the Alan Parsons Project another HM, but maybe not quite a VHM.
-
It's all psychobabble to me.
-
Snooze to the Fixx. Glad I missed "Working Girl," such weird condescension there. Expecting to get "Everywhere I'm Not" or "Belly of the Whale" since Dave's getting his modern-rock swerve on today.
-
Alas, I have to give an Honorable Flashback to The Fixx cuz it takes me back. Of course- a lot of songs in the '80-'83 region tend to do that.
-
VHM to "Marianne, Marianne" -- I know it teeters toward Katrina territory, but this also teeters toward Perfect Pop Song territory.
-
always enjoy "psychobabble," but i think i'll give my early bos vote to "marianne."
-
P.S. Beej, I am frightened by your new avatar. Is he meant to ward off evil?
-

BLECH. I take ownership of the crankypants today.

In the Red Skies video one of the band members was wearing a t-shirt that I also had at that time, a white shirt with a large red cross on it, with a few roses and a bunch of black silhouettes of B-52 bombers arranged in a grid superimposed over it. There was another more obscure video that also had someone wearing the shirt, but I onlyheard about it second hand. I was quite the New Wave-styled guy at the time.
Very obscure Fixx trivia: what was the first name they recorded under in the UK?
-

it is evil icarnate!

I agree -- and am pleasantly surprised. I thought your Gazkypants didn't much care for Mr Crenshaw.

BOS1, Townshend's Exquisitely Bored. Love "All the best Cowboys..."--his best solo work by a long shot.
Back to overwork-week day 2.
-
BOS Pete. Exquisitely Bored in California indeed.
-
next bos: pete!
-
Hee! My avatar is none other than the murderous "He Who Kills"! The bizarre Zuni doll that Karen Black receives as a gift in the 70's TV movie classic: Trilogy of Terror!

Burning Sensations are '83, but it's too bad Dave can't do a Members/Burning Sensations twin-spin.
-

It occurs to me for the first time that this song is something of an Eagles parody/commentary.

No, I dig just about everything I've heard from him. Actually, I thought it was POC who didn't like MC.
Should have seen Missing Persons coming. Would like this even better if she didn't cheapen herself with that Betty Boop bullshit.

no, not a parody of a specific song, just of their whole attitude.

it is i, indeed. don't know what it is about that song today, though.
gaz is quite the feminist this morning.

oh...that makes sense.
yay - phil collins! and his horns!

arrrrrggggh, Genesis. Will the torture never stop?

I was sitting there thinking BOS for Saga, and wondered why I like it so (I actually have the vinyl), and it seemed kinda Zappa-esque at times, but more fluid. And, then, if I'm not mistaken, the next song was Missing Persons, with ex-Zappa drummer Terry Bozzio!
-
arrrrrggggh, Genesis. Will the torture never stop?
My, Alicat is wearing the crankypants today, isn't she? I guess we all have our days....
And considering it's the Phil Collins Band, who could blame her?
-
Flashback I Coulda Done Without: Phil Collins.
Heh. I loved "Jenny 867-5309" back in '82. Fond memories.
-
yay - phil collins! and his horns!
Shirley you jest.
"Paper Plate, Paper Plate..."
-
"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.
-
Flashback I Coulda Done Without: Phil Collins.
For a good time call 867-5309.
OK, something I do like.
-
one of my all-time favorite 80's lyrical nuggets:
"I tried my imagination, but I was disturbed."
trivia answer fwiw, the Fixx started out as....
...The Portraits

"Paper Plate, Paper Plate..."
not one bit. remember - i was five.

Mshray sayeth:

Thanks! Over at the Television Without Pity forums there's the "Scarred For Life" thread where people talk about freaky shit they see on TV. Lil Zuni (as I dubbed him) gets a lot of discussion. Every now & then I'd post a tiny pic of him to scare people. Heh.

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).

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

"For me / Horny"

like i prefer moscow pronounced with three syllables instead of two.

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

Toke, Yo!
-
"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.
-

:) the proper pronunciation is "mus-ko-vah." which sort of rhymes with chaka khan. i bet she'd make an attractive little nikita.

You mean the one with the sample from Full Metal Jacket?
"me so horny, me luv you long time"

No, I think the song with the Full Metal Jacket sample is the Vanilla Ice song. This one's called "I'm So Horny" and it's on the South Park Chef Aid album. But, it's an actual song that Parker & Stone put on the Chef album & procede to make fun of with an audio commentary over it.
I've gotta Google. I'll be back.

yes, according to an online English-Russian dictionary, it's moskva

i thought she was from "missing in action?"

OK! OK! It's Mousse T vs Hot & Juicy. Here's a Media Player link thing from Amazon:

i could see that. if they were singing for yono. that would also explain why dave wants to wear the album as bling. bling.
then there's this. (http://stevebartonmusic.tripod.com/id5.html)

in cyrllic it is written MOCKBA, with c = s & b = v (sorta). Lacking a 3rd vowel, I'm pretty sure it is only two syllables. But I'll ask my Muscovite friend Elena for a ruling. :)
-
the "k" is its own syllable. it's nearly impossible to pronounce it as "musk-va."

I'm a former Russian Studies major (2nd out of four, the others being Biology, English, and finally Chemistry) so believe it!

:) such smarties here! i was really just poking fun at gaz for wanting people to pronounce "tokyo" as intended. i don't know nuthin' 'bout no russian. i just listen to my russian housemate who tries to teach me proper pronunciation. i can't pronounce it in two syllables, even if the k "syllable" is slight. but all i really meant was i prefer when it's pronounced properly as opposed to "mas-cow."
-

I could be wrong; my grandmother was from Kiev, not Moscow. If people pronounced it with three syllables, regardless of how it's spelled, that's good enough for me.
-

I thought you were too, but then, you know how gullible I am!

well in Japanese the pronunciation of Tokyo is borderline 3 syllables. It is pronounced To-kyo, not Tok-yo. It is composed of 2 kanji characters, one for To, meaning 'east' & one for Kyo, meaning capitol. And 'kyo' comes out very nearly as 'keough' even amongst native speakers.
Kinda like anything with an R-L sequence in English. Try saying 'world' or 'girl' without adding a little extra syllable between the R & the L. For most people 'girl' rhymes wtih 'squirrel'.
