The Greg Kihn Band played at my Grad Night in 1983 @ Disneyland!! Imagine being 17 yrs old,with a cute girl by your side....just graduated,and hearing this song live!.... at DISNEYLAND!! One of the best memories of my life!❤😊
I was Class of ‘83 also and was there for Disneyland Grad Nite. Not only did Greg play there, but so did The Dazz Band and Berlin. We’re lucky to be 80’s peeps, even if it means we’re getting old now 😁
@@jennycraigadventures3314 I'm retro-jealous now! Can't even IMAGINE a Grad Nite at Disneyland now---at all. It would be at least a few hundred, even with discounts the school could get. Do you remember what the cost was off hand, or roughly? If you don't it's okay; it was a long time ago.
I knew Greg “back in the day”…he played at a lot of the small venues in San Francisco, where I lived. He was working at a record store in Berkeley when I first met him (close to my Mom’s work) and he told me he was starting a new band with some of the guys he worked with. It was pretty cool to see how successful he became, he had an especially loyal fan base in the Bay Area. This song really started it all for him!
My band covered this song in the mid 80's. I was the drummer, so I can relate with Amber. It was a fun song to perform, it always filled the dance floor!
My favorite Greg Kihn Bank tune. Catchy, melancholy riff, great lyrics and a smooth groove. I can't help but sing along every time I hear this one. Thanks for checking it out, I knew you would eventually find this classic!!!!
Hey guys. I just love watching you guys groove with your eyes closed and big smiles on your faces. I also love when there is a part that hits you and you both look at each other at the same time. I just really enjoy you both and love your reactions. Thanks for doing what you do and keep up the kick ass job.
Just wanna tell y’all...y’all bring so much joy to my heart. I'm a 53 year old USMC vet. Spend much time alone and you guys warm my heart and make me smile. Y’all are a true blessing from God.❤
The Greg Khin band played at my high school, as did Huey Lewis and the News, and Journey with original band members Neal Schon and Gregg Rolie. Oh those were the days...Monte Vista High School in Danville, CA!
This song came out in '81. The band's first hit. I heard it for the first time on American Bandstand and it's one of those songs that you like the first time you hear it. I got to see them at a great small club in '83 called the Catalyst in Santa Cruz right after the album Kihnspiracy came out. It's the album with Jeopardy on it.
LOl I remember that show what a night at the Catalyst. Instead of driving home my girl friend and i went and spent the rest of the night at the beach and watched the sun rise in front of the boardwalk
I just love watching you guys experience music I grew up with and into what my kids had in 90s to today. But there is just something about the focus on melody and musician ship of the 70s and 80s. Love you guys.
Glad to see you got through safe from that storm we had last night. This song hits my nostalgic heart. I feel like I'm a brooding teen again laying on my bed in the dark just listening to music.
That is what I would call a 'sticky' song. As 'J' said, "that will be stuck in my head all day". Amber's smile was beaming her joy with song. Smiles are contagious, Amber has infected a lot of people today! 🎸😎
I loved the Greg Kihn Band so much in the 70s. They had no bad songs and I got all of their albums. Their record label had the slogan "The most fun you can have with your clothes on". So true! Killer drummer (who sang lead on some songs) and phenomenal lead guitarist - you will like some of their romantic songs, Understander or Remember - still on my playlists 45 years later. Timeless stuff.
Greg Kihn even sang the Patsy Cline classic, "I fall to Pieces". It was weird and I loved it. His album "Khinspiracy" is one of my all-time favorite albums.
When I was a high school freshman, we moved away from Marin County, CA and Greg Kihn bought our house. I was so star-struck. He was SO big at that time--his songs were always on the radio.
Wow! Just curious if he had a lot of "cold hard cash" from his albums and singles, I never heard more than about 3 songs of his on the radio in Vancouver - he talked about going close to bankrupt by the late 80's from the rock lifestyle.
Back when this came out in the 80s. A lot of people associated with driving their muscle cars on the highway very fast. They Don't Ride Like That Anymore! Can't say that this wouldn't be a good driving song. Thank you guys for your energy with all this. I definitely put a smile on my face. I love watching you guys reaction. God bless you both and your family
This is the best song from them that I like,it's from back in 82 & Amber you were jamming & dancing in your chair, I bet you felt so getting up & dancing to this song & Jay you liked that one part & the guitars & Bass,but it's an overall great song to dance to
Hey Jay & Amber! So glad you guys reacted to my favorite Greg Kihn Band song! 😎 The next songs you need to hit from The Greg Kihn Band are "Reunited", "Every Love Song", "Can't Stop Hurting Myself", "Madison Avenue Man", "Valerie", "Happy Man" and "Remember".
Wow .. I saw the Greg Kihn Band for free in a park on on Long Island NY , summer 1981. Our local radio station WLIR had a free concert series “Party in the Park”. I saw Joan Jett the following week as well. That show was actually videotaped and can be seen here on UA-cam.
Lol Jay, it won't be stuck in your head the rest of today, it will be stuck in your head for the rest of your life, laugh. And I love Amber just killing it with the chair dancing and acting out the attitude of the song just perfectly. It's notoriously repetitive but it's just such a fun pop song and one of the great dance songs to dance to in clubs and at parties.
Great memories with this song. Definitely takes me back to my younger years. The Proclaimers (500 miles) would be another fun song to take a listen to. Thanks for bringing back these great songs from my past.
One of the greatest power pop songs of all time! Now that you've done The Breakup Song, please react to another fantastic power pop song from that same time period, Ah Leah by Donnie Iris, it has been my favorite song for roughly 40 years!
rip greg kihn. i remember when greg was the morning dj on kfox in san jose and him and his son, ry playing lead, was were working on this song, ''thunder road'', for a bruce springsteen album, of some sort. it came out pretty good. i listen to his version often. he also made a famous cameo appearance on weird al's version of ''i lost on jeopardy'' video.
Wife and I subscribed today-it’s been a day of Rob Squad! Love the positivity and reactions-had us crying with you in “Runaway Train” and laughing with “Paradise by the Dashboard Light”! Thanks for doing what you all do and blessings to you! 🤘🤘🤘
I've always loved Greg's voice and especially in this song!! Paired with the guitar effect... just a one of a kind!! Great great song!! Glad you both like it and glad you finally got around to another early 80's Classic!! Fantastic memories roller skating and playing Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Missle Command, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Centipede, and shooting pool to this one!! 😀 @RobSquadReactions
Thank You... 1981, my High School Days, I loved this song!! I used to play this song over and over!!! Greg Kihn rocked, I always enjoyed their music.. Thank You Again!!
Long time fan of this band and this song - The Best Small Venue *LIVE BAND* in the 80s. I was a 20 year-old amateur drummer when this song released; replaced my metronome with a Greg Kihn cassette.
They are from my hometown and saw them all the time in the clubs. They were great live. Amber dances like me in those days. Also saw Eddie and the Tide, Ian Shelter, City Kids ( now Tesla),.
The song from Wednesday "Goo Goo Muck" is by The Cramps. They have a bunch of fun songs that are characterized as psychobilly-50's and 60's rock and roll with the energy of punk and a little bit of surf music thrown in as well. Their guitarist Poison Ivy is one of the great rock guitarists laying down some amazing riffs. "Saddle Up A Buzz Buzz", Bikini Girls With Machine Guns", "Can Your Pussy Do The Dog?" are just a few of their songs.
Another Great song! Thanks for this review. 😊 This song give me great joy as it looks like it does with you as well. ( I think the song was played through twice for some reason ). Edit; Jay where you started to look bored halfway through, it's because who ever uploaded the song, took the song, cut off the ending and duplicated the song ( so it sounds repetitive, the actual radio one isn't ), and kept the ending at the very end, of course.
Yes, they edited it to play through twice. But to be fair, this is one of those songs that always seemed to end too soon, so whoever did it was probably trying to make it last!
@@jpmnewyork You make 2 great points. Personally I would rather have a longer version where the parts play different, but you're right, I always wished this song had more and kept going every time I've heard it in the past.
I have watched you both right from the beginning and it’s a joy to see your musical growth and ability to decipher the undertones and vibe of each song .You were spot on here when you said it has a Creepy Sound . It was used in the 2010 horror movie LET ME IN starring a young Chloe Grace Moretz as a child vampire .It’s been a true delight watching you both continue on this musical journey 🥰
Summer of '83 saw Journey with Bryan Adam's in Norman. Next night, I saw Iron Maiden with Saxon and Fastway in Norman. Headed to Dallas, went to Six Flags, and saw Greg Khin Band there that night. Came back to Northwest Arkansas and saw Molly Hatchet in Ft. Smith. Great senior Road trip🤟🤟
I'm kinda envious of y'all listening to all the great music for the first time. I wish I could go back and hear these classics with a fresh ear. Keep it up. You 2 are doing great!
98.5 KFox the classic rock radio statio for the bay area used to have Greg on it back in the day. I remember him being funny and always having something cool to talk about.
It was very repetitive because that was a modern-day upload which simply looped another verse and chorus onto the approximately 3-minute song. This song works perfectly at 2:51 or whatever the 'full length' of the song was on my album. Another great pop song from around the time that will stay stuck in your head is 'Echo Beach' by Martha and the Muffins.
RIP to an all-time fave and the music act I saw more than any other. Got to meet him in late 1998 and he was so down to earth, funny and nice. Just an all around classy guy. 🎸💔
Loved this song since first hearing it. Which was kinda weird cuz I just happen to be going through a breakup. Then I learned name and was like “ NO WAY DUDE”! Love it’s energy! #AMBERSWAY 💙
I saw these guys in Houston in 1982 or thereabouts. I had broken my neck earlier in the year and was in a Houston hospital for a few surgeries. A few months later I went back for a 6 month check. I lived about an hour away and on the drive there my girlfriend and I heard a radio promo about an event in Houston happening that day. We decided to stop by after the hospital. It was at a convention center and the band was just kind of stuck in a corner and the rest of the thing was a bunch of booths and such. For a while we were the only people over there listening to them. We stayed for two sets. They put on a great show.
I think this came out my freshman year in high school. Not bragging, but we had some good music then. Thanks for taking the time to listen to different music from different time periods. I hope you've already discovered songs that will be your favorites for life.
Ok, I've been watching you two for a couple of years now. I just recently subscribed despite my fears of you cramming my recommended page with post. I must say, I'm glad I did. You're such nice folk and I feel you are genuine. My first "request"... "suggestion"... to your lovely channel is... The Kinks, Schoolboys in Disgrace album. Now I say "album" cause it is a concept album. It deals with going though school and beyond. I discovered this album when I was 16 and even then it had a look of a bootleg album. I remember standing in my dad's living room of his townhouse after his divorce of my stepmother, singing to the top of my lungs, listening to this album on my grandmother's stereo... she had a good stereo for the time, (1975) and I just loved this album. I think I was listening to your reactions the other day and something made me want to listen to this album again. I did and thought, I've never seen anyone react to this album. We all know the Kinks for "Lola", "Sunny Afternoon", "Come Dancing", but I've never seen anyone cover this album. So I put to you... cover this album, at least one side at a time, it's not an album you want to do song by song. I would love to see you two cover the whole album at once, but of course it's not my channel. I hope other subscribers that are familiar with this album, will chime in. But in the meantime, Peace and Love.
I was sophomore in HS in 81. It was a song that guys and girls would dance to without a partner. Just go out and dance what ever you felt. A lot like Devo "Whip It" and B-52's "Rock Lobster".
The Greg Kihn Band played at my Grad Night in 1983 @ Disneyland!! Imagine being 17 yrs old,with a cute girl by your side....just graduated,and hearing this song live!.... at DISNEYLAND!! One of the best memories of my life!❤😊
Wow! I graduated in ‘83, and I remember seeing Greg Kihn Band at Disneyland Grad Nite. I’m closing in on 60 years….time is flying by fast!
@@Thejazzfan66 That is awesome. I graduated in 1975 which was NOWHERE as cool as the '80s. The '70s---ugghk.
I was Class of ‘83 also and was there for Disneyland Grad Nite. Not only did Greg play there, but so did The Dazz Band and Berlin. We’re lucky to be 80’s peeps, even if it means we’re getting old now 😁
@@jennycraigadventures3314 I'm retro-jealous now! Can't even IMAGINE a Grad Nite at Disneyland now---at all. It would be at least a few hundred, even with discounts the school could get. Do you remember what the cost was off hand, or roughly? If you don't it's okay; it was a long time ago.
Lucky you!
Amber gets a 10 for the great display of chair dancing!!!
I second that motion, so, what was the song again????
She does put on a show…
She's the queen of chair dancing.
Wait, that sounded weird. Oh well. I'm sure Jay is happy bout that.
💯 nailed it!
LOL! For sure!
"They don't write 'em like that anymore".
Truer words have never been sung.
Taylor Swift..kidding lol
🫵🏼🎯
Strange he said that back in the early 80's.
R.I.P Greg Kihn!!! You most definitely were truly loved and will be sadly missed!!
I knew Greg “back in the day”…he played at a lot of the small venues in San Francisco, where I lived.

Michelle...did u get outta the shithole SF like I did? Lol ....
Whatever happened to them? Are they still out there or did he walk away from it all?
@@LiberalsArePoop I really don’t know 🤷♀️
That's really cool.
@@LiberalsArePoop Greg became a DJ on a bay area radio station for a while. Can't remember the station
This is one of those songs that everyone can sing along with but no one knows the title of.
Except those of who paid attention lol.🤟🤟
Guilty:}
For real? Everybody knows this is “They Don’t Write Em Like That Anymore” aka uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
@@joemc1960 😂
So true!!! I wasn't sure which song this was.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! They did another great jam..."Our Love's in Jeopardy ". 💗
That was the first Greg Kihn song that Rob Squad reacted to.
Simply called "Jeopardy"...
JEOPARDY WAS SO AWESOME !!!!!!
Remember Weird Al's I lost on Jeopardy baby 🤣
Or I lost on Jeopardy
The most truthful lyric in history...
"They don't write them like that anymore!"
Lmao
Amen to that!
Absolutely right!
The 'uh-uh-uh uh-uh-uh-uh-uh' was put in there for words to be added later, but they liked it so much they kept it.
R. I. P. Greg…. He was such an icon here in the Bay Area. He will live on in his music… 😭
And now we’ve lost Greg Kihn.. thank you for the music and the memories
Great guitar hook in this song; love that perfect Danelectro tone. Great driving song. One of my all time favourites.
My band covered this song in the mid 80's. I was the drummer, so I can relate with Amber. It was a fun song to perform, it always filled the dance floor!
Love all the reactions but the best ones are ones like this one, where Amber really gets into the groove of the song! Love watching her start dancing
I love it when Amber really loves a song! 🥰😍🥰
This song will stay in your head for decades ❤
Indeed. Four decades already for some of us, ha.
It definitely has.
Haha truth!
When I was a kid back in the 80’s I thought this was Billy Idol lol😂
Almost five decades so far here.
Bay Area boy here, love GKB. Fun fact from ‘96-‘12 was a morning DJ in SFBA.
Rest easy Greg Kihn , he past away today :(
"Stuck in my head all day" is exactly what made this song's popularity.
RIP Greg Kihn! My fave song for the entire 1981!
Great song! You should try Donnie Iris's "Ah Leah" from the same era.
YES!!
Or On The Loose by Saga. They had another popular song on MTV (in the good ol’ days when it actually aired great stuff) but I can’t remember the name
Or Twilight Zone (When the bullet hits the bone) by Golden Earring, I think of these songs together for some reason.
I would click your suggestion a million times if I could. I have sent in emails requesting "Ah Leah" but so far to no avail.
Agreed - I would love to see these guys do "Ah Leah". I think Jay would dig it.
Now you have to check out (The Kings - Beat Goes On/Switching to Glide!) Another Big Canadian 80's Hit!
Love it.
I forgot all about This Beat Goes On/ Switching To Glide. I first got turned on to this song back in the 90s.
Epic!
Absolutely! I love that song!
If I want to listen to a song , this is it !
Once upon a time I was a young man and I loved the Greg Kihn Band!
Memories man...high school for me!
Haven't heard this song for a while. But you know it the instant it starts. Love it.
My favorite Greg Kihn Bank tune. Catchy, melancholy riff, great lyrics and a smooth groove. I can't help but sing along every time I hear this one. Thanks for checking it out, I knew you would eventually find this classic!!!!
This song has a killer bass line too.
Yes, I was surprised Jay didn't comment on that.
@@ScottKornfeld Yeah, right!
Rest in Peace Greg, you did so much for the world. I cannot put into words.😢
Hey guys. I just love watching you guys groove with your eyes closed and big smiles on your faces. I also love when there is a part that hits you and you both look at each other at the same time. I just really enjoy you both and love your reactions. Thanks for doing what you do and keep up the kick ass job.
Hear hear - they are so much fun to watch when they get into it like this!
Just wanna tell y’all...y’all bring so much joy to my heart. I'm a 53 year old USMC vet. Spend much time alone and you guys warm my heart and make me smile. Y’all are a true blessing from God.❤
The Greg Khin band played at my high school, as did Huey Lewis and the News, and Journey with original band members Neal Schon and Gregg Rolie. Oh those were the days...Monte Vista High School in Danville, CA!

California is such a massive alpha male state
You can't beat this for roller skating fast!

Fabulous Eighties track that I hadn’t heard in a minute. Mission accomplished today, you made me smile. ✌️
This song is pure mood. Impossible to resist.
Amber, it is so good to see you having so much fun. I hope you both continue to enjoy the music from the "good old days".
I just love watching you guys experience music I grew up with and into what my kids had in 90s to today. But there is just something about the focus on melody and musician ship of the 70s and 80s. Love you guys.
Ditto...
same here Tom... thumbs up!
I haven’t heard this in years. I used to perform this with my band in the early eighties. Filled the dance floor every time. Wow! Thanks!
It still does!
Glad to see you got through safe from that storm we had last night. This song hits my nostalgic heart. I feel like I'm a brooding teen again laying on my bed in the dark just listening to music.

Oh my goodness I love this song and haven't heard it for a long time . Thanks for playing it .
I loved this band , I am so glad you found them.
Funny song...grandkids danced to it at 4..didn't understand the words..but they sure could kick it up. Still enjoy this song.
Oh man, this is one of my favorite songs from back in the day. It’s so cool.
Hey Jay & Amber! So glad you guys reacted to my favorite Greg Kihn Band song! 😎 The next songs you need to hit from The Greg Kihn Band are "Reunited", "Every Love Song", "Can't Stop Hurting Myself", "Madison Avenue Man", "Valerie", "Happy Man" and "Remember".
Greg Kuhn played a great New Year’s Eve show back in the 80’s at the Cow Palace with Eddie Money, Y&T and Heaven🤘🏻Thanks for the memories!
Greg did not look a bit comfortable coming down on a wire. Not a lot of Batman in him. 😬
This takes me back to the early days of cable TV and MTV...when it was great.
Greg Kinh was a staple.
It evokes pleasant nostalgic memories. ❤
Got to see The Greg Kihn Band when they opening for The Cars in ‘80 at the Spectrum in Philly
I saw them (Kihn) as headliners in 1982 -- they KILLED it!
Wow .. I saw the Greg Kihn Band for free in a park on on Long Island NY , summer 1981. Our local radio station WLIR had a free concert series “Party in the Park”. I saw Joan Jett the following week as well. That show was actually videotaped and can be seen here on UA-cam.

Great memories with this song. Definitely takes me back to my younger years.
The Proclaimers (500 miles) would be another fun song to take a listen to.
Thanks for bringing back these great songs from my past.

One of the greatest power pop songs of all time!
Now that you've done The Breakup Song, please react to another fantastic power pop song from that same time period, Ah Leah by Donnie Iris, it has been my favorite song for roughly 40 years!
Yes, time for them to react to Ah Leah. Possibly the greatest one hit wonder song ever.
Definitely! Ah Leah! is an all time favorite of mine

Greg Kihn was a great DJ in the Bay Area and introduced me to a lot of songs that I hadn't heard before. Great Song!
A really fun early 80's tune. Yes, a great dance groove.
Love this song and the memories it evokes. I was just jamming last week on my guitar with a friend on the keys to this song :).
I've always loved Greg's voice and especially in this song!! Paired with the guitar effect... just a one of a kind!! Great great song!! Glad you both like it and glad you finally got around to another early 80's Classic!!

Live version is the killer. Just a great song by a talented Greg Khin👍”Khintinued”. Reunited another good one.
We all sang the all
"Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh" part in high school lol...awesome song!
Love this song! Instantly puts me back at the 🛼 Roller rink in the 80's. Everybody hopped on the rink when this came on. Perfect roller skating song!
Greg Kihn is a Baltimore boy. I loved this song when it came out in 1981...
Greg played my Grad Night in 1983.
This one always filled up the dance floor at Uncle Sam's in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Ladies' Night. Good, good times!
Thanks for commenting I got something for you text me on telegram to claim your package..........🎁
This song always went down well when our band played it at gigs. Great tune
Bass player here, a band I was in in my 20's use to do this. It was one of my faves. I still enjoy a few beers and playing it.
The Greg Khin band played at our high school gym when they were first starting out in the SF bay area it was awesome
I have watched you both right from the beginning and it’s a joy to see your musical growth and ability to decipher the undertones and vibe of each song .You were spot on here when you said it has a Creepy Sound .

Gotta love The Greg Kihn Band. Classically 80s while also having a throwback flavor to a different era themselves. Great childhood memories here!
Summer of '83 saw Journey with Bryan Adam's in Norman. Next night, I saw Iron Maiden with Saxon and Fastway in Norman. Headed to Dallas, went to Six Flags, and saw Greg Khin Band there that night. Came back to Northwest Arkansas and saw Molly Hatchet in Ft. Smith. Great senior Road trip🤟🤟
the good days of music, loved that band, still do
Great song. So underrated! Amber’s “Chair Dancing” set off all of my Smoke Detectors! YOU GO GIRL❤
Coming from a drummer of 35 years thank you for the comment!...Ohhh Yurrr!
I'm kinda envious of y'all listening to all the great music for the first time. I wish I could go back and hear these classics with a fresh ear. Keep it up. You 2 are doing great!
Greg Kihn. Saw them play at a local high school in Fremont, California circa 1979...way before they became well-known. ✌
You know it's a good reaction when Amber gets into the chair dancing. :)
98.5 KFox the classic rock radio statio for the bay area used to have Greg on it back in the day. I remember him being funny and always having something cool to talk about.
This song seems to work on various levels. Vocals. Chorus. Guitar. Drum rolls. Perfect pop song
It was very repetitive because that was a modern-day upload which simply looped another verse and chorus onto the approximately 3-minute song. This song works perfectly at 2:51 or whatever the 'full length' of the song was on my album. Another great pop song from around the time that will stay stuck in your head is 'Echo Beach' by Martha and the Muffins.
Pretty much one hit wonders! Totally iconic, amazing song and band❤🎉😊
RIP to an all-time fave and the music act I saw more than any other. Got to meet him in late 1998 and he was so down to earth, funny and nice. Just an all around classy guy. 🎸💔
This was their Big Hit....They don't write them like that anymore!!
Oh sooo TRUE!
I like this one better but I think Jeopardy was their biggest hit
Loved this song since first hearing it. Which was kinda weird cuz I just happen to be going through a breakup. Then I learned name and was like “ NO WAY DUDE”! Love it’s energy! #AMBERSWAY 💙
grew up listening to the greg kihn band and they are my favorite. seen them in concert at least 20 times. thanks for playing this classic!
I saw these guys in Houston in 1982 or thereabouts. I had broken my neck earlier in the year and was in a Houston hospital for a few surgeries. A few months later I went back for a 6 month check. I lived about an hour away and on the drive there my girlfriend and I heard a radio promo about an event in Houston happening that day. We decided to stop by after the hospital. It was at a convention center and the band was just kind of stuck in a corner and the rest of the thing was a bunch of booths and such. For a while we were the only people over there listening to them. We stayed for two sets. They put on a great show.
I think this came out my freshman year in high school. Not bragging, but we had some good music then. Thanks for taking the time to listen to different music from different time periods. I hope you've already discovered songs that will be your favorites for life.
Ok, I've been watching you two for a couple of years now. I just recently subscribed despite my fears of you cramming my recommended page with post. I must say, I'm glad I did. You're such nice folk and I feel you are genuine. My first "request"... "suggestion"... to your lovely channel is... The Kinks, Schoolboys in Disgrace album. Now I say "album" cause it is a concept album. It deals with going though school and beyond. I discovered this album when I was 16 and even then it had a look of a bootleg album. I remember standing in my dad's living room of his townhouse after his divorce of my stepmother, singing to the top of my lungs, listening to this album on my grandmother's stereo... she had a good stereo for the time, (1975) and I just loved this album. I think I was listening to your reactions the other day and something made me want to listen to this album again. I did and thought, I've never seen anyone react to this album. We all know the Kinks for "Lola", "Sunny Afternoon", "Come Dancing", but I've never seen anyone cover this album. So I put to you... cover this album, at least one side at a time, it's not an album you want to do song by song. I would love to see you two cover the whole album at once, but of course it's not my channel.
I hope other subscribers that are familiar with this album, will chime in. But in the meantime, Peace and Love.
Amber's feel, and reactions to these songs, and music bring her into the fold she is an old soul, who gets the feel of the moments.
I was sophomore in HS in 81. It was a song that guys and girls would dance to without a partner. Just go out and dance what ever you felt. A lot like Devo "Whip It" and B-52's "Rock Lobster".
