SPY SAPPIN THE HOUSE OF LOVE

[danielninjaman]

I'm surprised there no TF2 related stuff for this song

[Japester702]

@danielninjaman I heard it on a TF2 stream

[smogboy315]

One of the most diverse and innovative bands I've ever seen. Great sound and just plain tight!

[Mech610]

ARMS...LIKE...NOODLES!!!!!

Was Not Was- Best band ever. Saw the reunion tour in 2008(ish) and it was amazing. C'mon boys, do another one!

[tonyokay1]

I saw these guys in Philly in '84. a radio station had a promotion 106 something. I got in for a $1.06!! Awesome show! best $ 1.06 I ever spent!!!

[tonyokay1]

@tonyokay1 My bad, on reflection, it was (not was) '87 or '88

[PopBodhi]

This is a classic R&B/Dance tune from the late '80s. It's on one of the last cassette singles I bought.

[ThisCakeIsAPie]

20 comments? Such a shame

[orlanduce]

@ThisCakeIsAPie that's ok. Walk The Dinosaur picked up the slack

[BonjoviFan08]

i wanna be the spy in the house of love!

[DaveWollenberg]

W (NW) hit #16 in Billboard, 12-17-88. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[Mominator]

Great song! I'd almost forgotten about it until XM's 80s on 8 recently played it as a lost hit.

[rwk1983]

Go Carlton!

[whitepinejack39]

One of the last new LPs I bought before I went to CDs in the late 80s.

[m1kewithaone]

oh, sorry, i must be in the wrong place. this isn't the same "was not was" that did that song " im in jail now" . and this is not the same "im a spy in the house of love" by the doors either, so i guess i'll just go on out the back door here.

[ibelieveicansoar]

@m1kewithaone It is the same band, and actually, "Hello Dad, I'm In Jail" is the b-side of this single

[m1kewithaone]

@ibelieveicansoar no! are you serious!?? how would i have ever known?!!! :) thanks!

[m1kewithaone]

they never played this on KROQ!!! .... but they played the other side!! what a world, what a world!!!

[m1kewithaone]

@ibelieveicansoar _detailpage i've got to learn how you send a message with the video in it, like you did..

[stan2211stan]

The Best American Music comes from Detroit.

Somethin' in the water maybe...

Been like that since John Lee Hooker cut Boogie Chillin in The Late 40's.

[whitestar111]

its a shame you don't get songs like this much

[tracyblogger]

I wish I could find the remix for this. I remember buying the CD and it wasn't the version they played at clubs.

[TheMate01]

lol i can see why they changed the vid.

[ultimatemegadeath]

great vid! thanks! i could have sworn there was an animted version though....

[RomZomCom]

@ultimatemegadeath

Yeah, that one was using clips from an old Superman cartoon from during World War II.

[ultimatemegadeath]

@RomZomCom , where can i find it?

[RomZomCom]

@ultimatemegadeath

Should still be on Youtube, try searching for "Superman Was Not Was" or something along those lines.

[BPrice1A]

@ultimatemegadeath The name of the short used in the video is "Secret Agent", from the series of Fleischer Superman shorts, which was released in 1943.
