    I dig it.

    A place I used to hang out at called Smart Bar gave away free copies of Saigon Kick's first album on cassette. I'll admit that I listened to it once and then recorded other random stuff on top of it. I'm sure I still have it somewhere...

    I'm not sure if people got that this song was satirizing yuppies.

    And as long as nobody includes Air Supply (responsible for "All Out of Love" and others), I try not to be too judgemental.
    Well, I guess I've finally got my confession...

    Is Herb Alpert considered uncool?
    The Gypsies had no home. The Doors had no bass.

    Does our reality determine our fiction or does our fiction determine our reality?

    Whenever the question comes up about who some mysterious person is or who is behind something the answer will always be Frank Stallone.

    To me it depends on the song. But then again, there isn't much music I listen to that would be "embarrassing" to admit I like.

    Herb Alpert was the performer of the "unofficial" Bond film "Casino Royale". A nice piece of trivia is that his wife, Lani Hall was the singer for the other major non-official "Never Say Never Again". Knowing this fills me with an embarassing amount of pride.

    Actually that would be a good song for Dr. Strange. Or a bad one?

    I actually saw Streets of Fire in the theater when it came out. Director Walter Hill ( The Warriors, 48 hrs) called it his "rock n roll fable." It starred Diane Lane ( who actually is in one of my favorite rock movies Ladies and Gentlemen The Fabulous Stains), Michael Pare, and a young William DeFoe. The movie itself wasn't a hit, but the soundtrack was. The best known song is probably "I Can Dream About You" by Dan Hartman. In the movie it's performed by a Temptations-ish group called The Sorells which included Stony Jackson and Robert Townsend. Anyway, this song was written by Jim Steinman who wrote songs for Meatloaf.



    Oh! I almost forgot, Lee Ving, the singer from punk rock band Fear is a member of DeFoe's biker gang. He also showed up in Flashdance and a few other movies and TV from this era.

    That actually put me in the mood for Flashdance. I'm pretty sure I mentioned in an older post I saw this at the show with my mom...

    Q: What did Batman say when Robin fell off the roof?

    A: "Fly Robin, fly!"

    This was a popular joke when I was a child. The punchline was this song



    I'm not embarrassed for liking it, but it is funny that the lyrics are basically just one line.

    I remember the Robin punchline, too, ed, though not nearly as memorable as "Jingle bells, Batman smells..." which was fairly new when I first heard it.
    A bat! That's it! It's an omen.. I'll shall become a bat!

    Oh, I remember that one as well, like since kindergarten! You're no doubt aware that it made it into the 90's Batman cartoon!
