All those early Police B-sides were cool.
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...

I think this one might actually have been the one I meant to link for revbob. Yeah, the Police had some pretty fun early b-sides and whatnot.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Musically I really like it. I don't think his voice is suited for the music though.

Oof. That one is a stinker.
I took a road trip last weekend and heard Some Guy's Have all the Luck not once, not twice, but seriously THREE times.

Heard this stinker at 7-Eleven this morning. It didn't know how it was by, but it was so bad/annoying that I looked it up when I got home.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I heard Electric Avenue at the 7-11 yesterday. Best one in a while for me.

I remember buying the 45 of that and Men at Work's "Overkill," as well as Fantastic Four Annual #17, on a trip to Saskatoon, probably during an orthodontist appointment because I think I was with a friend and his mom or dad (he and I often got our braces appointments on the same day to carpool).Kimmelweck wrote: ↑03 Jun 2023, 5:28amI heard Electric Avenue at the 7-11 yesterday.

Re: The grocery store (and gas station) music thread
I never bought Electric Avenue in any form (sorry Eddy!), but I taped it off the radio several times with an old flatbed tape deck when I was about 11 years old. I've bought Men at Work's whole catalog a couple times over in cassette and CD form - still love it.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Jun 2023, 6:11amI remember buying the 45 of that and Men at Work's "Overkill," as well as Fantastic Four Annual #17, on a trip to Saskatoon, probably during an orthodontist appointment because I think I was with a friend and his mom or dad (he and I often got our braces appointments on the same day to carpool).Kimmelweck wrote: ↑03 Jun 2023, 5:28amI heard Electric Avenue at the 7-11 yesterday.

My orthodontist jacked my teeth around for 4 years, from 4th to 8th grade, and I can’t even remember the fucker’s name. I’ll never forget that bastard with his little hammer though, pounding spacers between my back teeth to make room for those fucking bands. My head would ache for days. One of the best days of my life was when I got those braces off.

The days after getting them tightened was misery. I've also got scars on the inside of my cheeks from when they wouldn't properly clip the new wire and the ends would cut. Miserable miserable miserable.Kimmelweck wrote: ↑05 Jun 2023, 11:28amMy orthodontist jacked my teeth around for 4 years, from 4th to 8th grade, and I can’t even remember the fucker’s name.
