Thank you very much Paul.
Wow! this (Dance) version is completely different to the one which is on the CD as a bonus track. Love your one much better. Nice one!
Thank you Greg 🙂
This song will never date. Awesome then and awesome now!
Can you please do “Love Me Like A Rocket”?
My vinyl is in storage and I’m dying to hear it again.
Thanks!
Hi John I don’t have that single but I will try to locate a copy 🙂
Yes please… Any chance of seeing Kate’s solo effort, Love Me Like a Rocket??? I’ve only heard a low quality version.
And thanks for this single… love them! 🙂
I love this song. Sooooooo weird and different. EBN/OZN was the only other band that came close.
Thanks!
I agree Will McCammon EBN/OZN were pretty cool too 🙂
DJ Paul – hope all is well around your way! By any chance – do you have Gun’s the Sky 12″ Remixes and Need You Tonight 12″ Remixes by INXS?
I will see what I can do Josephine 🙂
F A N T A S T I C !!! Thanks Paul.
Kate Garner is now a photographer.
You’re welcome Jermajesty. I read on Wikipedia that they accused Boy George of stealing their look lol.
Oh, it was a bitter feud – Boy and Jeremy didn’t speak for many years over it – it was specifically the dreadlocks.
It’s all in Beorge’s book, and him and Marilyn mention it again in a documentary that was on last week. Can you view iPlayer content? It’s here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07z7y5v It’s really good.
Thanks for the link Jermajesty 🙂
This song got into my head so much when it was out that I began to hate it. I’m more tolerant now! 😀
Incidentally, the reverse silhouette of the duo reminds me of the Humpe sisters logo. Paul, you might want to try Humpe & Humpe 12″ rips here too (but hopefully, that A Little Respect 12″ first). 😉
Sounds interesting Goodguy I will check them out 🙂
“Good Times Come To Me Now!” Boy oh Boy Paul, what an excellent single this is. And such a weird one too! This duo always put a smile on my face! I loved the fact that MTV, back when they did play music, did feature their videos on their channel and this is what I mostly loved about the network, playing the music I was identifying with. I love the mashup of square dancing fiddles and the crazy mix tricks in this mix. What a wild time for musical experimentation. I also loved their other single, “John Wayne Is Big… Read more »
Kate Garner is her name!! Sorry about that. Also this song seemed very influenced by Malcolm McLaren’s “Duck Rock” LP. Ah, what memories!!
Jeff
This is a really fun single. Also makes me think of that song in the 90s by Rednex “Cotton Eyed Joe” lol.I also read on Wikipedia that they accused Boy George of stealing their look pretty funny.
Thanks Paul. I remember this one clearly.
You’re welcome Omar 🙂
Thank you for filling my request so quickly! Great record.
You’re welcome David. Thank you for requesting it 🙂
