When Pop Songs Attack!
Thursday, March 16th, 2006 04:10 pmLately I've been listening to lots of new music, trying to acquaint myself with more of the trends of the 21st century. Last night, the part of my brain responsible for earworms took its revenge by repeating not one, not two, but three songs from the '80s which I almost certainly have not heard since the '80s. I found lyrics for all three songs online, so they must have been real recordings and not the product of my fevered brain, but is there anybody who isn't me who remembers a single one of them?
( Here there be lyrics )
While I'm here, I'll post some older lyrics I should've posted yesterday: Ides of March's biggest US hit, from way back in 1970--"Vehicle"!
(If you're terribly interested, the Ides of March lead singer & songwriter (who also co-wrote all of Survivor's hits and a few songs for .38 Special) tells the story of "Vehicle" on his site. It's kind of cute, actually.)

Hey well, I'm a friendly stranger in a black Sedan
Won't you hop inside my car?
I got pictures, got candy, I'm a lovable man
And I can take you to the nearest star
I'm your vehicle, baby
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
I'm your vehicle, woman
But I'm not sure that you know
That I love ya (love ya)
I need ya (need ya)
I want ya, got to have you, child
Great God in heaven, you know I love you
( Yes, children, the '70s were a scary time )
