"When I see a pretty girl walking down the street, I think two things. One part wants me to take her out, talk to her, be real nice and sweet and treat her right."
@Skadalilama Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
@Skadalilama Yes it is! In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
@silentzombie161 You do have a case, myself ,i think he look's like a young Jerry Springer! on most of his video's he does just missing the glasses! but yea on here i would kind of go with you on that. Great vocalist he was as well. R.I.P.
@jameyinegypt yeah i just started listening to him after i watched american psycho and instantly i got hooked and i kind of doo see jerry but we'll never know and hopefully never cmpramise this mans genious because this song is irresistible
@JamesBBallplaya What does EMI have to do with this? I have a Rob Palmer music videos minus Mercy Mercy and it is owned by Universal. What do EMI think they are? Some kind of God.
Not that old, I recorded it in 2002 on a double deck from the original Heavy Nova album it was from (I worked in a charity shop at the time and would often record tapes I found on blanks).
@SteRDLK Hahahahahahah, yeah! That's the reason why I'm listening this song at this moment....xD I was watching "American Psycho" few days ago, and I heard this song....Really great.....:D
she's just simply irresistible
