The Puppets - The Way Of Life

The first time I heard this, it was part of an end-of-the-year megamix on the radio, in 1983 or 1984. This song that I had only heard a few bars of got stuck in my head, eventhough I didn't know the title or who sang it. It was more than 20 years later that I found the 12 inch. God bless the internet!

"The Way Of Life" written by Shaun Brighton & John Cannon. (C)+(P) 1983 Quality Records.

I used to dance to this at Voodoo all the time. It was my favourite song back then.

I got word from the guys themselves that they are doing a new version of this song, to be released soon. Can't wait to hear it!

@mo827 He's here, 6 months late, but better late than never?. I've got a pseudonym up on Youtube Jasontikitiki. You can check out what music I'm up to these days. SUPER lo-fi, intentionally so, but I hope it still contains the spirit from back in the day. Hope 2012 sees you well, John

@BCYONKERS Yo Brother Cannon! I'm so lame with this stuff. I had a blast working with you and especially that gig. I did what you've done with the comedy Broseph! Peace

One of my favorites of all time. It was on an Funhouse mix tape I had from 1983.

Absolutely classic.

I still have the 12" (and many many others) - if any of you lovers of original Elektro/New Wave crossover need your fix, get in touch; I can be your pusherman ...
