Wow! Thanks for the memories! I was a card-carrying member of DREAD (Detroit Rockers Engaged in the Abolition of Disco) and lived for JJ and the Morning Crew. Not to mention Arthur P. Now I'm 54 and living in a small town in Utah. Geez, what happened?

This is actually a double-parody of two different bands...a) ? (Question Mark) and the Mysterians' "96 Tears", and b) the Kings' "Switching to Glide" [the second on the Kings' promo medley & video]. WRIF later played the band "White Bird", one morning, by a band called It's A Beautiful Day, and boy, did "Bruiser" and the morning host have a field day with that one! [The name of the band, not the song.] I was far too young for a DREAD card, though.

the Mysterians are here in bay city Michigan!!!

Sad that "?", the guy who sung the inspiration for the first parody, had his house burnt down in recent memory. I wonder if he lost any of his master recordings?

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for posting this stuff. Anyone who grew up in Detroit in the 80s listened to every parody these guys did on JJ and the Morning Crew on WRIF.....I bought this record on vinyl when it came out...wish I still had it..
