How do I not know this song? I had the album when I was a kid, (and probably somewhere around here right now,) and I do not remember this one, and there is no way I would have skipped listening to this one.
Oh yeah, for the young ones here, albums are like big round iPods that don't hold very much music, and had to be put into a big spinning box to be played.
Comparing Lady Gaga to Dale Bozzio is insulting to Dale and Missing Persons. First of all, we don't even know if Lady Gaga ever consciously copied Dale, and it's highly unlikely that Lady Gaga grew up listening to Missing Persons (she's too young to be a fan and Missing Persons were never a huge mainstream band). Second, there is no Missing Persons influence in Lady Gaga's music whatsoever. Her music is pure pop and her newer songs have more in common with Elton John than Missing Persons.
This was a great L.A. band from the '80s. Sure, Dale had the Playboy bunny body and wore clear plastic bras and quirky outfits (please don't compare her to Lady Gaga), but this was a solid rock band made up of outstanding musicians. This song, in particular, really highlights Terry's drumming and Warren's cool guitar sound.
@TheUniversalWoman Yes, they were a great, underrated band. They had that quintessential New Wave look and sound, which was rare for American bands at the time. I know, I wish the comparisons to Lady Gaga would just stop already. The only time that I noticed any similarity between Lady Gaga and Dale Bozzio was when I saw saw the cover of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" album, but that was a very remote, superficial similarity. Musically, they are totally different.
@avocate201 I'm NO fan of Lady Blah Blah who essentially plagiarized Dale's look and style. I thought Terry did a really good job on drums--he truly was the energy of the band. I've seen later live performances of the later incarnation of Missing Persons (sans Terry) and the band's spark is definitely absent without him.
@Scychful We all know that Terry is an amazing drummer who is capable of doing much more than what he plays here, but for an early-'80s New Wave song, this song has awesome drums. Terry's drums and Warren's e-bow sound really drive this song.
Do you see the glass chips on dale's cheeks?? Does Lady GaGa think we are all stupid?? Dale is the innovator..Lady CaCa is just a second rate copy cat who thought that no one would notice that she's ripping off other artist's work because it was so long ago. WE REMEMBER lady...we will ALWAYS REMEMBER! Damn it just makes me sick to see the CaCa on tv making millions as a copy-cat and a FRAUD!! I WILL TELL YOU TO YOUR FACE CACA...You're not Original...by any means! Debate me CaCA..I dare you!
I think they were my first concert in 84 or 85ish at the Ventura County Fair. I wish they would get back together and start touring again like all the other 80s bands. They were supposed to be at Day of Decadence in San Jose area @ 1999, but cancelled and were replaced by Men at Work or something. grrrrrrrr.
oh this was the ORIGINAL GAGA / MADONNA SHE ROCKED.... I MISS HER AT THIS AGE AND TIME.... walked in on her doing coke off a table backstage to get an autograph in about 1998 at a little pourly attended show in Olympia, she looked great still but fuck she was pissed. :)O
Lady Gaga? Eat your heart out!! Dale Bozzio, the Queen of New Wave, is the definition of eclecticism in audio-art form, and she happens to have a knack for making bras out of everyday ordinary objects--true skill. Missing Persons were/are one the the most underrated bands of all time.
Had the great experience of seeing their debut gig in a tiny little club, ages before they had any records out, as well as literally countless other early shows throughout Southern California at venues like Ichabods, The Whisky, Magic Mountain, Knotts, CSUN. They were always great fun, had tremendous energy, and ALWAYS kicked serious ass.
Hot DAMN this band COOKED!! I TOTALLY dig Terry's energy in the way he plays his drums! Then Dale...talk about a walking wet dream! Although Dale WAS WAYYYY more original than Lady Gagme, you DO have to give credit to W.O.W. [Wendy O' Williams from the Plasmatics, who was surely the very first 'rock shock' chick...Dale was just a LOT sexier...and not so skanky!
There is nothing like the ORIGINAL thing......here it is....way before all the poser shit we have in the sorry year 2011 :(........Missing Persons IS the bomb. Rawk on.......
Musically this trifecta couldn't be topped across the board. Blondie's act was huge and a close second in my opinion. Another talented bunch. My drumming started a few years earlier but Missing Persons was a blast to play. Rock on Universal!
Dale Bozzio was nothing more than an absolute genius. She was way, way, way before her time. I do know she is still touring. While Ga Ga does have some talent or she wouldn't have gotten where she is, she will never be a match for Dale Bozzio and Missing Persons. Ga Ga should acknowledge them as a HUGE influence on her and quit her other "name dropping". I have always thought that Missing Persons was highly underrated. They could have used better management and a better label at the time.
I was a missing persons person. It was a movement back then! Do you remember this? The cops were dispatched to my house many times when I got behind the drums with the Persons going in the headphones,Fuck it I went for it in Terry fashion! Who could inspire you today to go for it like Terry used to and still does? Ha.. I give up!
@rocknrollhoocheecoo Yes! I totally remember. My friends were big into rock and not into "new wave" but I couldn't help myself. The hair, the clothes. Fantastic.This is the BESTEST MP song evah!
@preciousbash +1 my darling...and this song pretty much says it all! I really wish MP were still around to show these pseudo musicians how it's really done. Most of their videos were done in a live vocal/band setting with very minimal (if any) sound tweaking. If only the average person knew what goes into making today's pop stars sound good on the radio...I swear it would shock them. It's so unfortunate that MP did not get the recognition they so deserved.
@enfuriae1 Dale Bozzio still tours under the moniker of Missing Persons to this date. There are times when original members of the band join her and tours when it's all hired musicians.
This song&vid are so pivotal...so many in recent years have attempted to imitate, but at the end of the day they're all just generics. Dale is the real deal and she was cool before that term even came into existence. All you hating f*cks out there...you do realize that not only did she design and make all of her wardrobe, she also wrote all of her own lyrics. Missing Persons was a band...you know that thing that pop artists today don't have?
Music kicked ass in the 80s! They played instruments even. I loved missing persons. Back when Mtv was worth a shit! These guys had great vids along with many kick ass bands.
@TommyboyGTP Oh man how I ask this same question. I miss the Persons. Who knew that their name would come to be a cry for help. Missing Persons put out an all point bulliten. Wanted returnrd unharmed with instruments. Report as ASAP to the recording studio! Eurgent we need you back!
"Imitation is the purest form of flattery" - or something like that. I adore Dale/MP and was there when they were HOT. I think everyone knows that GaGa is showing admiration (and making money) - really no reason to diss GaGa. If anything, this may sell some old MP stuff/and or create a resurgence.
Same thing happened with Madonna and Debbie Harry for years. Debbie once said in an interview "the props are nice, but a check would be better."
Funny no one seems to notice the guitar player. Without the guitar player you got a bunch of noise. Missing Persons guitar player kicks ass. What ever happened to him?
@todddoom Warren Cuccurullo was first noticed byFrank Zappa and after Missing Persons was noticed by Duran Duran. He is an interesting effects type guitar player.
@TheTiglathpilesar Intresting. Does that mean Warren Cuccurullo plays for Duran Duran? I don't think so. Andy Taylor did a fine job there. Still youtube is great for checking out bands. The band breaks up but the music lives forever. No one can take away my Missing Persons music.
THE ORIGINAL LADY GAGA!!!!!! I saw them in the 80's and there was noone like her.....she had everything!!! Lady Gaga shoould pay homage to her.....DALE BOZZIO ROCKED......Gwen Stefani, Rhianna, Nikki, take notes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let this be a lesson to younger people who think people over 40 can't relate to them. You see, we had hot chick singers who wore clear Plexiglas bras too. Dale was WAY hotter too...
Why all the Gaga bashing? Why not talk smack about Elton, Cher, Bowie, or Cyndi Lauper? Gaga's influences could of been any 1 or more of these people as well. & when 100 people are posting the same shit about how Gaga's not acknowledging Dale, or how she stole her gimmick, or whatever, it becomes stale. Say something original, or nothing at all & enjoy the fuckin music.
@bassmanjoe I agree with you , I think Lady Gaga is an amazing talent . She never cease to amaze me . Dale Bozzio does not compare to her musically , actually I would compare Gewn Stephani more to a Dale !
Why are you guys hating on Lady Gaga? Sure there is an order to things....Deborah Harry, Kim Wilde, Terri Nunn, Dale Bozzio, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga....They all owe something to those that came before them, but I LOVE THEM ALL because great music is great music....
like in the song she (a cultural leader and create all the fads and make all the scenes) (Lady gaga/Copy cat) will never be Dale in any way thank you.
PROOF, I HAVE PROOF that LADY CACA, is a farce, a rip off artist, a fake, a biter, She tries to look exactly like Dale Bozzio, she probably had posters of her on the wall, she probably dug thru her garbage. Original my butt
Great music always transcends its period. There are so many interesting things going on in this song. And the way she uses her voice--wow. (The rest of the band is great too.)
They were 30 years ahead of their time, so fucking innovative and fresh sounding!! One of my top 5 favorite bands from that period!! This song rocks the hell out, love it!!!!!!
What is wrong with you people. If you want mention Gagag please do it elsewhere!! THIS IS WHERE WE TALK ABOUT MISSING PERSONS!! GAG CAN"T HANG IN THE RELM OF DALE and the band is and always was the shit!!! Look at the 6 pack and this bitch( said with love and respect..Love the hair, the style, the vocals, the music.
Frank Zappa would have laughed at GAGY DUMB HAG so NO MORE TALK ABOUT HER/IT....GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Imagine you're 16, epic summer day, riding in a convertible, heading to the beach, with this song blasting. I loved them in the 80's and still love them for how they take me back and make me feel so BAD ASS.
Dales body ABSOLUTELY ROCKS, she's so tight - Angelina Germanotto's body is a chubby pudgy, rolly-polly mess.
& don't even get me going on her face, it's that of a sweaty pig in heat! Where as Dales face is so incredibly feminine & cute that it's just exciting to look at!
The incredible Missing Persons! Lady Gaga eat your heart out!
Dale Bozzio (lead vocal) was light years ahead of her time - and so was the rest of the band. A true original sound that has been imitated but not duplicated since then. The drummer (terri bozzio) also played in Frank Zappa's band in the 1980s
Saw them LIVE in 1988 at the Michigan Theatre in Ann Arbor, MI. (Yep. I'm old)
I wish they would come back around someday - but I suppose it isn't likely to happen.
Terry bozzio = genius !! listen to the very last note...He does a flam between his bass drum and snare/hi hat clench...hard ? no..... nobody else would think of that ?? YES !!
I think alot of men did lol. To be honest, I only just heard of her and the band Missing Persons this year, when a Missing Persons vid was mentioned and recommended to me in my "Recommended Videos" section on YouTube.
So thx YouTube!
Also I have nothing against Lady Gaga (yes gasp! I like her, so shoot me :P) but Dale Bozzio is so different to her, and she came first of course.
@EdwoodCA THREE players from Zappa's band... People who slag them off as another new wave band have to listen closely. Listen to the time changes in "US Drag", these players were MONSTERS.
I don't think this is who lady gaga copied. I don't think Gaga copied one person. I think she branched out and took the best from several older artists. Its why shes so successful.
I like this kit Terry's that used to play. That 20" Sound Creation Dark China with the 14" 505 hi-hat stacked on top sounded real wicked. Very cool set. One of my favorite drummers.
looks live to me - drums and vocals are on, the cymbal hits are on time - maybe it got tweeked in a studio to soften ambiant sounds since you can hear a crowd in the begining
Is Patrick O'hearn on the keys???

PROOF, I HAVE PROOF that LADY CACA, is a farce, a rip off artist, a fake, a biter, She tries to look exactly like Dale Bozzio, she probably had posters of her on the wall, she probably dug thru her garbage. Original my butt

I don't even have to say who has completely ripped Dale's style. Well I take that back she might have not done it intentionally.

Great music always transcends its period. There are so many interesting things going on in this song. And the way she uses her voice--wow. (The rest of the band is great too.)

Imagine you're 16, epic summer day, riding in a convertible, heading to the beach, with this song blasting. I loved them in the 80's and still love them for how they take me back and make me feel so BAD ASS.

Dales body ABSOLUTELY ROCKS, she's so tight - Angelina Germanotto's body is a chubby pudgy, rolly-polly mess.
& don't even get me going on her face, it's that of a sweaty pig in heat! Where as Dales face is so incredibly feminine & cute that it's just exciting to look at!

The incredible Missing Persons! Lady Gaga eat your heart out!
Dale Bozzio (lead vocal) was light years ahead of her time - and so was the rest of the band. A true original sound that has been imitated but not duplicated since then. The drummer (terri bozzio) also played in Frank Zappa's band in the 1980s
Saw them LIVE in 1988 at the Michigan Theatre in Ann Arbor, MI. (Yep. I'm old)
I wish they would come back around someday - but I suppose it isn't likely to happen.

I think alot of men did lol. To be honest, I only just heard of her and the band Missing Persons this year, when a Missing Persons vid was mentioned and recommended to me in my "Recommended Videos" section on YouTube.
So thx YouTube!
Also I have nothing against Lady Gaga (yes gasp! I like her, so shoot me :P) but Dale Bozzio is so different to her, and she came first of course.

Tremendous band... New wave with unbelievable players, and one of rock's best drummers ever.

@Tigerbabysob You've got that right. You've got to be a virtuoso to have played in Frank Zappa's band.

@EdwoodCA THREE players from Zappa's band... People who slag them off as another new wave band have to listen closely. Listen to the time changes in "US Drag", these players were MONSTERS.

I don't think this is who lady gaga copied. I don't think Gaga copied one person. I think she branched out and took the best from several older artists. Its why shes so successful.

I like this kit Terry's that used to play. That 20" Sound Creation Dark China with the 14" 505 hi-hat stacked on top sounded real wicked. Very cool set. One of my favorite drummers.

looks live to me - drums and vocals are on, the cymbal hits are on time - maybe it got tweeked in a studio to soften ambiant sounds since you can hear a crowd in the begining
