Oxo - Whirly Girl.avi

http://resmediamarketing.blogspot.com/

OXO is an American new wave pop band formed by Ish 'Angel' Ledesma in 1983.
Formerly the lead singer of Foxy, Ledesma formed OXO with guitarist Orlando, bass player Frank Garcia, and drummer Freddy Alwag.
Their only Top 40 hit was "Whirly Girl," which, according to Ledesma, was originally entitled "Worldly Girl." The song was written about Ledesma's wife.
The main section of "The Cameraman," episode 104 of the Showtime series "This American Life" - based on the long-running PRI radio show - focuses on Garcia's current family life and features music by Garcia and OXO. The footage comes from "Frank & Cindy", a documentary by Garcia's stepson, G.J. Echternkamp. The DVD packaging describes it, in part, this way: "After a year of filming, what began as an attempt to mock his one-hit-wonder stepfather, instead becomes a candid portrait of the pursuit of happiness."

"Whirly Girl" - (1983) - #28 (U.S.)

How does this song make you feel when you hear it???

I'm assuming most of the people who are watching this saw the episode of This American Life about the bassist. Am I right?

The dancer's name is Deborah Jannsen. She was an original member of the Solid Gold dancers. I was so in love with her for years. I saw her dance live at a taping of the show. So dark and luscious. Her body was easily one of the best bodies on television during her stint on the program.

I vaguely remember the song and the band. I saw a rerun of "Merv Griffin's Crosswords" this morning and one of the players mentioned his dad was a 'One-Hit-Wonder' with the song. Glad to be reminded of it. For all the bubble gum that was out there when I was in High School, there was quite a bit of just good upbeat music that was purely entertaining.

@MatthewPlowman Nope, I still have the original album from 1983, the first time I heard this song on the radio I had to have it. It's a great record with various music styles, but this is probably the best pop song Ish ever wrote (yes, even better than "Gett Off").

i love this song. i still got their 1 and only album. btw, 1 of the members' mother was a school teacher back in my elementary school (chapman elementary school in naranja, florida). i believe her name was mrs carvahol. anyhow, she used 2 bring the promotional photos of the band 2 school as well as their records and brag about how her son was in the band. it was so cool....
