Afternoon Delight by The Starland Vocal Band
Sugarloaf
“Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You”

I’m probably gonna get slaughtered for this ... “Mickey” by Toni Basil.
Written by Rupert Holmes, another one-hit wonder himself (The Piña Colada Song)
Earache My Eye.
Produced by Pete Townshend.
Sugarloaf also had “Green Eyed Lady”
I had a stick with a wire wrapped around it and a tin can on a string!
LOL
“What was that, a piece of paper?”
My momma talkin’ to me tryin’ to tell me how to live
But I don’t listen to her ‘cause my head is like a sieve
My daddy, he disowned me ‘cause I wear my sister’s clothes
He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose
My basketball coach, he done kicked me off the team
For wearin’ high heel sneakers and actin’ like a queen
The world’s comin’ to an end, I don’t even care
As long as I can have a limo and my orange hair
And it don’t bother me if people think I’m funny
‘Cause I’m a big rock star and I’m makin’ lots of money
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Ahh, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I’m so bloody rich ha ha ha ha
I own apartment buildings and shopping centers ha ha ha ha
And I only know three chords ha ha ha ha
96 Tears ?
“I Got a Line on You’ was a truly an under rated kick-ass rocker imho.”
“Canada’s Kim Mitchell has a rousing version of I Got A Line On You”
KIM MITCHELL! Holy Crap!
That dude opened for Bryan Adams in Chapel Hill NC in 86.
“Go for Soda” was the song I remember.
RLTW.
More Today Than Yesterday by The Spiral Staircase
Concrete & Clay - Unit 4+2
... although it was #1 in the UK only. It made it to the mid-20s in the US.
Nice!!!
Thanks.
