Toni Basil - Space Girl Blues

[AngiesChefLover]

ist ja gar nicht sooooo schlecht...........

[aoarecruiter]

Toni Basil was weird but unique.Too bad she did not get much notoriety after "Mickey".

[noelephantitis]

Is that Spazz Attack? The greatest (male) dancer of the 80s!

[Jazzy9964]

@noelephantitis Yes it is.. you can also see him in Toni's other videos.. "Be Stiff", "Shoppin from A to Z", "You gotta Problem (Us and UK Version)" and "My Little Red Book" (Dressed Like a Gorilla)

[noelephantitis]

@Jazzy9964 Is he still around? What is his real name?

[Jazzy9964]

@noelephantitis Spazz Attack real name is Craig Allen Rothwell... Here's another "Spazz" info for you... The 1983 Animated Film "American Pop" done by Ralph Bakshi has Spazz Animated near the end when it gets the the 80's era..(The movie spans from 1900's - to the 80's) Don't know what he's been up to lately.

@Jazzy9964 he runs a colon hydrotherapy center called "up yours" in sf.

[TonyRedgrave1501]

kamchatka's version of this song is definitely better and cooler!

[Tampa0123456789]

One more thing. Is it me or does that guy creep you out?

[Tampa0123456789]

Wow i didn't realized that she had other songs beside that mickey song. Check out her dancing.

Sept. 22, 2010 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONI BASIL

[fuckamericanidiot]

destroy it!

[mrnannyfanatic]

totally forgot about these toni basil-devo songs, i remember this being my favorite one though, best version of space girl blues

[cher4995]

weird song and weirder video :(

[fukneebone]

TONI ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Muddyw67]

What a stupid New Wave song. Sounds like it was written

for a TV show about weird kids on dope. Toni's talent is wasted.

[AbePhromanHD]

i like this song, DEVO rules

[JohnnyLovelyOfficial]

You're a mongoloid.

[Muddyw67]

I'm from Mongolia? You probably meant I'm someone with Downs Syndrome, which is a type of mental handicap involving the 23th chromosome. I guess you have issues with people who have different opinions other then your own.

[JohnnyLovelyOfficial]

o rly?

[kneejerker]

Agreed that the song IS a failure - Devo's left-overs.

However, what of this show about "weird kids on dope" - what channel / what time?

[Muddyw67]

just a joke- adults never get youth culture and when they try to depict it the always make it look stupid. I can imagine this vid being part of that ignorance.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONI BASIL (Sept 22nd)

[hairyreddick]

wow, I didnt realize there was such a cult I only was haunted by this album and this track for years, its so good to be amongst fans who appreciate the day...

cheers!

[berchemantwerp]

"Mongoloid" from Millionaire is also a very good cover.

[eggsammichz]

She's pretty much the only artist (that has covered Devo) who's covers of Devo are actually good.

[Hoten8]

Yeah.

[DeaconBlues0217]

Actually this isn't a Devo cover. She was dating one of the Devo bandmembers, and they were the backing band on three of the tracks on her album "Word of Mouth".

[fuckamericanidiot]

yes it is a devo cover, the original is on 'hardcore devo vol. 1'

[1devo6587]

that devo member that she was dating was jerry v castle!

[AbePhromanHD]

yes it is a devo cover from 1974

[sanspoint]

DEVO is actually performing the music on this track, as with the two other DEVO covers ("Be Stiff", and "You Gotta Problem" - originally titled "Pity You")

[client83]

genius!!!

i really like her album, and the devo covers!!
