Personal relation to this song: they played my Mom’s Prom back in ‘67. Pointless trivia, yeah, but it’s my damned pointless trivia

It’s one of those songs that run through my head when it’s a particularly crappy day at work. One of many, actually, heh.
Well, that’s the idea, anyway. You may’ve guessed after looking over my song list thus far that, well, I don’t have the same reserves of mushy stuff in my library as, say, any other normal human being.
So songs like this one get played on my turns. And y’know, we dig it just the same.
And it’s ’80s-ish, so Max might even approve.
But then, sometimes that’s all you need.
Afterthought… the singer more than a little resembles Mico Saudad, of Songfight reknown. Hmmm, maybe I’m just hitting the crack-pipe too much lately.
This one’s got the western guitar, which is always cool, and has some little connection to the movie Westworld (duh) which is way up there on my list of favorites.
Richard Benjamin is a god among actors. And Theatre of Hate ain’t bad either.
Madness’ “Blue Skinned Beast” almost makes the list, but there’s just so much British nasal one can take in a pseudo-week’s thematicide.
