It sounds like one of the Paul Stanley KISS songs from the 80s.

I always lump Ah Leah!, Driver’s Seat(by Snif ‘n’ the Tears) and Hot Child in The City(by Nick Gilder) all together in a ‘great songs by one hit wonders at the rear end-end of the Seventies’ pile.

ultrafilter posted:Woke up with a medley of these three songs stuck in my head: The video got complaints about it being too "lesbian" for the like 3 seconds Laura Brannigan dances with another woman. I was trying to remember what movie I heard this in, and it was Party Monster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=876it-SdWHc A movie that i guess takes place in the late 80s and early 90s but has music from bands that weren't active until the early 2000s, most notably Ladytrton, Miss Kitten and the Hacker, and Felix Da Housecat.

Thanks to Todd in the Shadows TIL that "Don't Worry Be Happy" and the Beach Boys "Kokomo" are BOTH from the Cocktail soundtrack, which I'm pretty sure makes it the most unholy LP of all time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Noow9NqBvA8 And the first song is by Starship without Grace Slick.  I think this will now be my new standard answer whenever the topic of 'worst record of all time' comes up.

Slick seemed to have a natural sense of when to pass on starship projects. She's not in their appearance in the Star Wars holiday special either.

DW,BH has good melodic sense and a sense of irony that puts it well ahead of "Kokomo", IMO. If nothing else Bobby McFerrin's performance is always enjoyable. And if that's not enough for you, here's the inverted version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbTxfN8d2CI

When I was in grade 5 (88-89) my teacher had a radio and TAPE DECK!! in our classroom. We were allowed to bring in our own music to play so I would steal some of my brothers's tapes and bring that poo poo in, so would other people. But one thing that I had to listen to too much was the cocktail soundtrack. My Teacher liked it and I guess it was a decent trade off because we could listen to Tone Loc, Young M.C., Fine Young Cannibals and whatever. As a fan of the Beach Boys, Kokomo is pretty much their only song that I legit dislike. There are a few that I don't really care for that much, but I for-rizzles dislike the gently caress out of that song.

That somehow reminded me of how there's 2 versions of Gene Loves Jezebel running around since after the band broke apart the two groups each claimed the name

All my mom’s side of the family came to town for my wedding, and my mom decided we should go see The Beach Boys at the local fairgrounds. Mike Love didn’t like the sound levels or something because he started yelling at a tech guy, on mic, during “Kokomo.” “Just loving FIX IT!” He said, followed by the most insincere “sorry” to the crowd. Most depressing show I’ve ever seen in my life.

I saw them play for their 50th anniversary your in 2012 and they all seemed energetic and in good spirits, but maybe they mostly hate each other irl. It was a pretty good show, or so I thought, for a bunch of dudes that were like 100 years old.

On the other hand, I saw Brian Wilson perform Pet Sounds in its entirety and he started to tear up and cry because one of the songs he was struggling to sing it well.

One of the few things worth stopping for if you ever pass through Oklahoma is Arbuckle Fried Pies, which are basically the same concept but made from actual food.

It was a pretty good show, or so I thought, for a bunch of dudes that were like 100 years old. Mike Love is 81. Brian Wilson and Bruce Johnston turn 80 this month and Al Jardine will be 80 later this year. Love's oldest child is 60+. PhotoKirk posted:I remember seeing the Beach Boys play in the Astrodome after a baseball game. It was everything you could expect for free show from a band that was still touring just to cover alimony and rehab expenses. When the Smiley Smile message board was trying to hammer down the dates of Love's marriages years back, his oldest daughter posted that she wasn't sure how many times he'd been married. It's in the neighborhood of 5-7. One of Love's grandsons is (probably) also his first cousin once removed. Dennis Wilson married five times. Depending on the Astrodome date, the touring money probably was going to Eugene Landy. Why, yes, the Beach Boys history is completely trashy.

Little me used to scrounge for quarters and ride my hand-me-down bmx, with mismatched tires, across town for pink lemonade gum that retained its flavor for all of 15 seconds.

My parents would send me up the street every week to go buy the Sunday newspaper. They'd give me a dollar , and I could spend the remaining 50 cents on candy. My go-to was watermelon Nerds, which were not only delicious but had the added bonus of the green dye turning your tongue pitch black if you ate the box in one go. Tasty AND I could gross out my older sister, what's not to love?
