Ha-sha-ka! Ha-sha-ka! Another Resolution...

Here I am, listening to the local college radio station, and I am reminded of another semi-regular feature I have meant to incorporate into the blog- examples of 80's music. Lest anyone think I'll be embedding Bonnie Tyler videos, here's an example of what I was listening to back then:



Apparently, the lyrics are a bit... horrible, but I haven't actually seen them posted anywhere to translate them.

embedding Bonnie Tyler

Uh, further info appreciated. Thx.

And: "Horrible:" bad lame sucky, or "horrible:" Junior Fascism Brigade? "Shake your booty," if that's what they're chanting, can go either way, of course.

Tech note: Set the width of YouTube stuff at 415, it'll fit the template exactly. 335 works for 4:3 stuff, other wide formats you'll have to adjust accordingly.

Horrible: sex, violence, scatological content- stuff that wouldn't cause anyone pause these days, but a little too spicy for mass airplay in their native land.

This little gem is another example of the warped genius of Folke Jensen and Ledernacken. The spoken bit at 2:41 hits it out of the damn park.

While I'm at it, who could forget this ode to indigestion, once heard?

And thanks for the formatting tip!

Ahem. Nina Hagen. That is all.

Well, she's better known for her tasteful attire.
