Yeah, I felt it really important to correct you on that one. For some reason. Not sure what that reason was.

I never could get into him, maybe its the fact that a then 11 year old kid doesnt want to see their dad rapping to him.

Weird song that climbed the charts: Der Kommisar. Did I spell that right? That was a weird song.

Since we are listing weird songs, here are a few, and I really like some of them, but they are weird.


"Love Plus One" by Haircut 100 Sample lyrics:
"Ay ah ah ah ah ah
Ay ah ah ah ah ah
Then I call
Ring (ring) ring (ring) ring (ring) ring (ring)
La la love plus one
Ring (ring) ring (ring) ring (ring) ring (ring)
When I call love"



"Rock Lobster" by The B-52's, "She Blinded Me With Science" By Thomas Dolby, and "Cars" by Gary Numan----All I can say is "Wooh."

Oh, and as for weird songs, I saw someone mention "Macarthur Park"... who on Earth sings about a cake being left out in the rain?

I always thot MacArthur Park was profound....kinda cerebral ya know? it painted visual images of decay which I think were pertinent to the point of the song....

The "kid" in the "Mr. Roboto" video was a former bandmate of mine...Blake Bachman! We'd just returned from a tour of British Columbia when he did the video for that.


Weird song to top the charts:

Right Said Fred: "I'm Too Sexy".

I'm too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my shirt
So sexy it hurts
And I'm too sexy for Milan too sexy for Milan
New York and Japan

And I'm too sexy for your party
Too sexy for your party
No way I'm disco dancing

I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I do my little turn on the catwalk

Does anybody remember that awful Apache song from the early 80s? I remember it at the roller rinks.

Unfortunately, yes. And I remember the line dance that went along with it. I think at every school dance it was played
