Get rid of white girls then white men will be doomed and we can stop cultural appropriation.

Actually it was. I know what I am fighting for - the right of pretty girls to be silly and entertaining without threatening the overthrow of civil or religious order.

Great song on many levels. Don't think I ever heard that before. But drum machines were at their peak annoyance level then -- never liked them and still don't.

they did a video spoofing Robert Palmer’s “addicted to love” video. It was them and a bunch of topless dudes as the backing band. I can’t remember which song it was though
