Awesome! The early 80's transition haircuts from the 70's shag to pre-80's big hair was the best! Feathering and down the middle parts were the height of fashion back then.
The lead vocalist here, Patty Donahue died on December 9, 1996 due to lung cancer at the age of 40 after battling it for almost a year. A native of Cleveland, Donahue was interred in the Holy Cross Cemetery, in nearby Brook Park.
This song is talking about how this girl i know and she found found the man of her dreams but couldnt ever make physical love to him and enjoy it because she was sexually abused and has adhd This is Me , How I feel

i heard this while i was at the gym and thought it was just some crappy song someone who works there made, then i realized from my dad that this was actually a #1 hit in the 80's. And I didn't believe him. this is worse than rebecca black and justin bieber's deformed children
@tracelight24 Fine but I will add this band could play instruments and weren't controlled with an iron fist by producers like the other people you mentioned. The vocals weren't pitched in the studio either like both the tweens you mentioned. So, this band should get more credit.
@tracelight24 I think you missed the whole point of this style. It is like garage rock but garage new wave but then again you are most likely too young to know about garage rock like Vanilla Fudge or even the early garage sounding Rap artist from the late 70's from the Boogie Down Bronx, the point was not to be polished and corporate sounding like today's music, it was meant to raw and the inflection of tone was more important to convey that who gives a fuck attitude, it was art above money
The 80s were such a time of musical transition. There were so many awesome tunes, but also there were pieces of unmusical shit like this. What complete garbage.
@wildswan66 It got there from your toilet mouth trying to tell people that this "feces" can pass as music. Where the fuck do quiffs like you come from? If you like this puke for music that's your right. And it's my right to dislike it so go back to wanking over pictures of your pet monkey and leave the critique to those who aren't inbred. In case you don't understand what I've written, it's from a language for rednecks like yourself who lick Uncle Grampaw's nuts. It means "go fuck yourself".
@tyme4mike So you don't dig this song here, .. fine and dandy. But it's certainly more like music than that rap shit of today, .. do give it THAT at least. I'm curious to know, what are some examples of 80's music that you do consider to be good ?
@Simlife3 from me that won't. There are so many things wrong with this generation... which is why I wish I was growing up in the 80s instead. I can tell they brainwashed poor you.
Man this is so much better than Katherine McPhee's soulless butcher job. Loving Tracy Wormworth on the p-bass, it's the contrast between her upbeat funky energy and Patty Donahue's slouchy don't-give-a-*** vocal that make it happen. The dudes are just filler.
This song sucks ass + That Black chick shouldnt be portrayed as hot cuz she ugly i aint racist cuz lots of black chicks are fine! just not her. Did i mention this song sucks!
jay-z sampled this for i know what girls like on in my lifetime vol. 1 sophmore lp first was reasonable doubt and before that original flava ............. GET NOTICED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you serious? She died? When? Where did you hear that she died? Were you a fan of hers? People don't realize the damage that cigarettes do until it's too late. People claim that they can't stop. I was on Xanax and felt that I was becoming addicted to the stuff so I stopped taking it. That's a narcotic. So if I could stop a narcotic after my body started being dependent on it a smoker could stop if they really wanted to.
it would help if she could sing
