My '82 wish list today would include the soundtrack version of "Cat People" and Ray Parker Jr's "The Other Woman".

BOS, Joe Jackson.  Never get tired of this one.  Does anyone else hear the old "Frogger" sound effects as a couple of the bleeps and bloops in here?

(And has Dave ever played "Pac-Man Fever" in its entirety?)

It just now occurs to me that Joe Jackson can play a role in my presentation on artists and perceived sexual orientation.  With "Real Men" I assumed JJ was gay for years, and when he sang here, "You / Can dress in pink and blue just like a child," I assumed from the boy/girl colors chosen that he was hedging his bets.

My name is Joe, and I overthink things.

is that what that is? i don't think it's frogger...i mean, i hear what you're saying, but the effect in the song sounds too clean for frogger. frogger had more mid-range...

Back in high school I was hanging out with some friends one day when one of them (a girl) mentioned what she'd be wearing to some function or other. "I'll wear..."

Before she could finish, DeMurie blurts out: "...Pink and blue? Just like a child?"

You had to be there.

Indeed, it's probably the electronic drums of the period, but now I can't stop thinking about Frogger and my Atari 2600. They're coming back as retro and I'm sorry I gave it away.
