It took me a long while (probably longer than it should have) to figure out that Mama from Mama’s Family, had a hit song back in the day.

I'm particularly fond of the "I OD'd On Thorazine" performance style Vicky has perfected for this early MTV Beach House performance.

The video involves a dalliance with a Matador, a bit of a The Sun Also Rises vibe. Also at one point she is running along while scraping her fingernails against a stucco wall that always made my skin crawl.

The chorus also bears an uncomfortable/uncanny resemblance to a latin-jazz standard called "Brazil." I'm surprised that no one has ever called her on that one because, once you hear it, you can NOT unhear it.

I also have Tears for Fears, but my song is "Shout".

The British charts would have Rick Rolled me as well. Thankfully in the US I've got Los Lobos version of La Bamba.

Mine is solid all around imo....

I didn’t even realize this was originally a Falco song. I was just familiar with the After The Fire cover.

It seems that Smooth by Santana was #1 on the day I was born... probably should get more in to Santana if we’re being honest here
