  • hey Gorvachov, what is that in your head? Herpes?

  • Love that DISCO bass line!

  • Thanks so much for posting this song! I had a roommate in SF in the 80s who used to play Delta 5 all the time. This song popped into my head today because of stuff going on in my life and it was great to find it here. My fave line "can you hear the people behind me/ looking at YOUR feelings inside me" - cuz that's what busybodies do - think they know what's up with you when they're just projecting. x

  • @didleybopp Same here! I too love that line, because it is so fitting with stuff I'm dealing with right now as well.

  • stefan lockdown would play this anywhere if i asked him to. miss you. 5 yrs rip

  • ZIL CARS FTW!!!!!

  • In 1981 my older brother handed me a cassette tape with this song on it, PIL, Bad Brains, Duran Duran, X, Dead Kennedys and others. I was hooked and I never looked back. Thank you John Boothman. If it wasn't for your pursuit of alternative, I would be listening to crap today.

  • the off rythmic delay parts really make the song interesting. it ruins nothing.

  • I saw this band at a sweltering Dirt Club in NJ back in the day. They were great. I wish "Try" was on youtube.

  • NO WAY! what year? (I grew up just too late for the Dirt Club but I'm from Blfd and can't even imagine anything this cool ever so much as passing through this place!)

  • love this shiet man!

  • the words mess up the beat, wtf is that lmaoo!

    still, best bass beat i've heardd.

  • this song drove my parents crazy because i would crank it in the car when it came on. i was 10 years old it was 1980. they feared this kind of music corrupt me. they felt this band must have mental problems. - and of course i rebelled and loved it even more.

  • i heard this song once n the radio (CJSR) and loved it.. i just played it for some co workers and they loved it!

  • A good band: check the rest out

  • chirpy cheeks - fanx to John Peel

  • "Charity's for the birds, take yr eyes off my cookie..."

  • Amazing.

  • Gorby was a quite cool guy: love that pimped up limo

  • Thanks! One of my favorite songs.
