gwynHere's a couple great noveltyish songs from the '80s that I love.
The first is a tune by a band called the Fibonaccis called Art Life that was featured in the movie Slam Dance, which I've written about here before (I can't seem to get into memories right now, as usual, so the review would come up under the movies tag, I think). It's just a mean, harsh, bitchfest of a song and I totally, totally adore it for those reasons. I especially love the "doom... we're all DOOOOMED" toward the end. I'm still peeved that they never put this divine soundtrack out on disc; fortunately, my friend saved his vinyl and another friend recorded these to MP3s for us.
The second is a little ditty by the Fabulous Poodles called Pink City Twist. My original recording of this features a segue into another song called Vampire Rock, which this MP3 doesn't have (and that I've always wanted to make a Spike vid to). Alas, the only CD recording of the Fab Poo's hits is currently running at a low price of $114 on Amazon, so I may never be able to get that again and will have to live with my original casette recording. I'm also bummed because I wanted their "Bionic Man," which would make a fantastic vid song for something like Now and Again. (Michael, if you're reading this, we need to put our heads together and figure out a Poos plan.) This song is just silly and repetitive but it has a joyous '80s new-wave nonsensical quality about it, and the payoff toward the end of the song is worth it.
