    Well, this is music and you can choose it
    It's just a matter of taste, you say
    But don't abuse it or institute it
    This could be another craze of the day
    A twelve-bar blues it or disco music
    It doesn't matter 'cause it's all the same
    A symphony-a, just lend an ear
    A simple tune sure sticks in the brain
    Hey, hey boys
    Well, put me on the hit line tonight
    Hey, hey boys
    Well, don't you think it's my turn? That's right
    Hey, hey boys
    Well, put me on the hit line tonight
    Hey, hey boys
    Well, don't you think it's my turn? That's right
    A twenty-four track, whoo, no mono flashback
    Just got to get you down on tape
    Computer remix, you got me transfixed
    I sometimes feel that I've been audibly raped
    The dancing people, ooh, they go beep-beeple
    You got me moving so I can't sit down
    The what? Watusi, well, maybe could be
    The hottest thing to ever hit, hit, hit this town
    Hey, hey boys
    Well, put me on the hit line tonight
    Hey, hey boys
    Well, don't you think it's my turn? That's right
    Hey, hey boys
    Well, put me on the hit line tonight
    Hey, hey boys
    Well, don't you think it's my turn? That's right, hey, hey
    Keep it simple, it's down to the beat
    Another cliché just makes the song complete
    Win or lose, it's, it's on production line
    Carbon copies singing the same old rhymes
    Hey boys
    Well, put me on the hit line tonight
    Hey, hey boys
    Well, don't you think it's my turn? That's right

    An interesting angular '80s pop band. Their style is certainly aimed at mass market appeal, yet, still has an "edge" - possibly a Devo influence coming to the fore. Shame they didn't get the attention they evidently deserved back in the day. Maybe they'll catch the ears of a future retro, hypnagogic, scene sooner rather than later.

      Not a fan of eccentricity? I think it's an essential ingredient of 80s bands.

      ​@@ajs41, I forgot to add, I thoroughly enjoyed it. This music is way off piste for me. It inhabited the commercial noise scape of '80s New Wave influenced pop, far from what I was listening to back then. Only with the passage of time does its quirkiness and charm stand out for me.
