Eighty-Eight - B.S., I Love You (Hilarious R rated doo wop rocker!)

The flip side of this is a censored version which loses something with the editing of the background singers. I think this record is absolutely hilarious and I hope you find it funny as well. This comes from 1981 but sounds like a throwback to the 1950's. This ranks among the best 45 rpm purchases i've ever made for $5 and under. While the 45 says stereo on the label, it plays in flat mono. I'm betting this 45 is not very common these days! Enjoy it!

Funny record. I wonder if that J. Elefante is the John Elefante who became the lead singer of Kansas for a few years, and then recorded a lot of christian rock music in the late 80's and 90's.

If it is, I bet he regrets making this record!

I did look into that....it is actually a different person, albeit named Jon Elefante (or is the Kansas guy named Jon and this one John?), the H. Singer is actually Hal Singer, who still licenses this song out upon request, it appeared on a european rockabilly compilation not too long ago. It's still under copyright and published by Bug music according to BMI.

Oh, I expected this to be a parody of the Beatles song "P.S. I Love You". Then again, the title, at least, may have been inspired by the Fab Four title.

[TopshelfTom]

The Hilltoppers did a different song called P.S. I Love You well before the Beatles did theirs....this one here however is an original song.

Funny record. I'm confused over the time listing. Intro: 00... It seems more to me like the intro is 14 seconds long. I don't know why they'd even bother specifying an intro time if it were zero. Weird

[TopshelfTom]

Well, I assume it's because the spoken part is considered part of the lyrics....a DJ couldn't talk over the intro himself so it's a cold intro.... not that this would get radio play anywhere...

Hahaha!

Even if I'm Swedish I can understand it.

I think this is a great parody to all teeny love songs, but it seem to be done with love.

Right as I type this me and my band Ready for Yesterday are recording with John Elefante! He is an amazing guy!

[bertgrout]

I know these guys personally, and they are all awesome, and very talented people. This group had several outstanding original songs too.

[MVillani1985]

Not sure I'd call this R-rated, maybe PG-rated. Still fun song, though.

Wondered at first why it was even uncensored...but the backing vocals don't come in till the second verse...and that was the first time I broke up laughing...great rockin' side on top of the off-the-wall lyrics...five stars
