Can someone tell me if "Schoolgirl" is on You Tube ..can't find it. Loved that one.

I haven't heard this song in ages! I don't ever remember watching the video, but I do remember it had plenty of airtime. I didn't even know they were Canucks. We have so much talent. Canada rocks!!!!!

Ironic that the Police's first hit was Landlord? Nice cover band though.

The Tenant's and the Spoons both were underrated and virtually unknown to most. If it weren't for a tv show called MV3(a'la American Bandstand for New Wave kids) that came on the Tele in Detroit I never would have heard of either.

@quincee33 I know I looked for other songs too, and they weren't that good:)

@terryberry48 alot of people thought that.....including me.....i think i find out about 5 or 6 years ago ..... Definately a one hit wonder, i've heard their other stuff and it sucks compared to this song.

Can someone please upload this to grooveshark? I've always loved this song and want it on my playlist...

It wasnt talent that stopped them --- it was a disagreement between members... It happens to everyone... just some disputes are solved.... would be so nice to see them together again.

I always thought this song was by The Police!



The Tenants' album does share similar melody and style with the Police. But I think they just happened to think alike, musically. The Tenants' debut album came out in 1982, prior to of the Police's 1983 album Syncronicity. I remember first hearing the Tenants on the radio. And although some, back then, thought they sounded like the Police, that never occured to me. I just thought the Tenants had a new wave, unrefined edge. The Police, to me, were a well produced superband... lol.

I still have the LP. While the band was not a huge success, it just shows how great the 80's were to have such bands fly under the radar.
