Gotta love Carole Pope!!  ;D

 

[medicineman]

You're very welcome Vern - happens to be one of my top 10 favorite songs.  You'd be surprised how many people don't seem to have heard of The Kings.

Grade 2 dances!

LOL  I remember both songs.  Though when that second video started...my immediate thoughts went to the Rocky Horror Picture Show!  ;D

Hmmm I'm thinking now. MM you have me searching youtube like crazy.

A few more Canuk ones that I can think of from the era:

Toronto, Headpins, Luba, Aldo Nova, Parachute Club, Platinum Blonde, Screaming Trees, Prism, Helix, Harlequin, Saga, Chilliwack, Foreigner.

Oh yeah...and the boys in the bright white sportscar. Can't forget them!!

Ewwwwwww old people music ;D That song must have been before Synthesizers swept away much of the 80s music. Thanks for the trip down memory lane MM, or rather before my memories.
