BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987
“Who The Am Dam Do You Think You Am” was the first single taken from the second LP of the same name by British band Boys Don’t Cry best known for the hit single “I Wanna Be a Cowboy”, which peaked at No. 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1986 and charted around the world. The band’s second studio album which, for obscure reasons, was retitled to ” Boys Don’t Cry” for the US-market. This happened to be the title of their debut album (which was also released in the USA under that name).
“Who The Am Dam Do You Think You Am” peaked at No. 94 UK on the singles chart for two weeks in May 1987. The single failed to chart in the USA making the band one-hit wonder in that country.

What a strange expression. I suppose it works in the song. What ever an “am dam” is.
I’ve been super busy the last few weeks but want to say I am excited about many of your recent post. Many thanks as always Paul!
O.K., so there’s THE CURE with their song “Boys Don’t Cry”. And then there’s BOYS DON’T CRY with their song “The Cure”. Now I’ve seen it all. 😉
It’s cool checking out these obscure records Paul. Sometimes they turn into new favorites. I appreciate these opportunities to add to my growing music collection courtesy of you.
Thanks Paul for your incredible introductions. Have a nice weekend Paul. You too everyone.
Jeff
Thank you, Jeff hope you enjoy it. Have a nice weekend 🙂
