[CelesteK]

@weirdscience85 Math isn't one of my best subjects and you're biting my head off about it. :(

PE hit #6 in Billboard, 7-18-87. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[CelesteK]

Actually Lips Inc had the original. This is just a cover.

[Ultrakalifragilistic]

@CelesteK You mean a ... pseudo echo of the original? XD

[CelesteK]

@Ultrakalifragilistic No. Lips Inc did this song about 10/12 years before Psedo Echo did. (youtu.be/Tm_UG5sEPHI)

[Ultrakalifragilistic]

@CelesteK I was, umm, joking that a cover is a pseudo echo. As in, you know ... a pseudo echo. It was a, um ... joke. Sorry.

[CelesteK]

@Ultrakalifragilistic That's okay. I'm glad you explained it. :)

[weirdscience85]

@CelesteK 10/12 years?? More like 8 years.. Lipps Inc's version was 1979.. Pseudo Echo in 1987.. You were way off

[CelesteK]

@weirdscience85 No need to be rude.

[steve4nlanguage]

[mkl62]

One of the top songs of 1987.

[em0k1lla]

[sheilakoala]

Check out the poofy shoes on Canham, Bloody handbags.

[cgurl1012]

The lead guy is SOMETHIN.

[vinceandlilly]

I like this version better than the original

[SlipknotFTW2345]

Does anyone know where I could download this as an mp3? I need it for a christmas present :(

[fatheadkiana]

They had a song called Lonely Without You, I dedicated to my husband (then boyfriend) when he was overseas in the military. Too bad it never got alot of play, it was a great song. Thanks for the memories. :)

[boomboomclaprap]

won't you take me to ¡funkytown!

[sfpopcorn]

Love the song, as well as the band's version. But this posting of it sucks ass. Comes in too late, and ends too soon. The early, weird fade-out at the end is ametueur. Maybe this was a highschool kid's posting-project or something. There are a lot better posts of this song/version out there. Keep working on it, kid.

[dorianstentorian]

@sfpopcorn - Actually, I'm 58! The cutting was done before I obtained it. But I've checked out other versions on YT - and while one IS complete, the Q is not so hot. This edit is TIGHT.

[minoleone]

yeah!

[derrangedmutha]

A real gem. Love it.

[German250890]

ejale!!!!

[reginablablabla]

Who is the guy playing the keyboard? ^^

[BobbyfromPepper]

@reginablablabla Scott Baio

[joecoolyowza]

This got coverage in the US as Brian wore the New York Yankees t-shirt and by coincidence the Yankees won the comp.

[heatherdaydream]

This puts the f back into fun! The energy and skill of this number totally overcomes their dreadful clothes and hair! A classic

[markeditor]

I couldn't agree more, Dorian -- fantastic performance and video, and the drummer is indeed HOT. I saw the video first when it was on MTV in '87 and was just in awe (especially at the drummer's good looks, as well as his thunderous rendition).

Thanks for posting this, and especially for your comments! Now I know I'm not the only one who was bowled over by that guy -- and all along I'd thought it was just cuz I'm gay (lol)!

[dorianstentorian]

@markeditor - LOL! He could turn Rush Limbaugh - or would he NEED to...?!

[BobbyfromPepper]

@markeditor You know this performance isn't real right? Their instruments aren't plugged in.

[markeditor]

@BobbyfromPepper Yes, I realized it was a mock performance, with their real performance overdubbed. Pretty fine instrument- and lip-synching, though -- maybe not perfect, but more than high-energy enough for me. With lots of nice close-ups of the boyz -- yum!

[kalimero1964]

@markeditor he is hot!!! loll

[kalimero1964]

[og100glesuxbadly]

@markeditor  check out John Farnham ''your the voice''- see if you recognise anyone in that clip! :D

[markeditor]

@og100glesuxbadly --any particular version? There are at least half a dozen to choose from (I've looked at the Arias 2003 and the Melbourne AFL Final Day clips). I suppose one of the PseudoEcho guyz was on an instrument in one of the performances -- or did you mean to look at close-ups of faces from the audience? Thanks for any hints you can throw my way!

[og100glesuxbadly]

@markeditor yeah sorry I was a bit vague wasnt I. The (official) video for the song your the voice shows Vince Lee as the drummer. :D You might also enjoy seeing Rambo in the clip....

[markeditor]

@og100glesuxbadly Thanks! Sadly, your link to a video clip of this (sent in a separate message) won't work for me -- apparently that vid is unavailable to folk in the USA 8-((
