Don't know if you have done this track, not got that far yet. But I love Kiki's song called "Amoureuse". It's a beautiful song.

Hi Sue, Some of my favourite people there. Talk about chaotic origins and lifespan. The Booze Brothers were a group putting down and album called Brewers Droop. Released probably a decade later when someone realised it contained Mark Knopfler, Dave Edmunds & Pick Withers. On to (eventually) Love Sculpture and Rockpile. Nick and Dave were signed by different labels and released variously. Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds, Rockpile. All good fun. But to stick to officialdom Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Billy Bremner and Terry Williams on drums, later to head over to Dire Straits. I know they all did.Girls Talk together and live on a rooftop in GB. But who that's attributed to is I have no idea. What I do know is that Edmunds produced k.d.lang's first album.

Going shoeless was her thing, it made her famous, besides her voice of course. She was born in a town called Dagenham in Essex, my home county.

him and mr barnes still play together now and them, he was the guitarist in Cold chisel. Sue Listen to Bow River by chisel he sings lead

R.I.P. WAYNE

Stumped me again Sue, I never heard of this song or the band. All the ingredient are there for this song to be a hit, I really liked the singers voice and instrumentally the bass (while simple) carried the song for me, especially during the verses.

One hit wonder in the US maybe. Here in Australia they had a few more

I get it that outside of Australia The Church may be considered a one hit wonder. But definitely not to Australians as they have many Album releases and hits.So many memories from their 1983 release Seance as it was my last year in highschool. There song Electric Lash is a absolute classic I really implore you to listen to this song😊

ah well, I certainly know this song! Great choice! I love watching your reactions Sue, you really lose yourself in the music..

Definitely not one hit wonders. They’ve released 38 singles of which 15 have been top 100. They have 29 studio albums and EPs. They are still performing today…

It's weird to me calling them a one hit wonder, not arguing, but as a fan since they started, it's just never occurred to me. They are still working and I see them any chance I get, they've released over 20 albums, but most of their success has been here in Aus. so I get it. Steve's voice is what makes their sound, to me anyway. If you haven't heard 'Unguarded Moment', I promise you will love it. I'm a fan who does love this song also by the way. Loving what you've done this week, thanks Sue. ✌❤

👍. I think they were trying to grow a brain. 😆

An Aussie band….. yay🌸 They had other hits called The Unguarded Moment and Almost with you. I am not sure about the rest of the world, but this song is rated highly here. Great period of 80’s music.

Bit of a shocker this one I always thought Ripple and Metropolis were hits Back in the day they were indie darlings Actually Australia had lots of great indie bands Would love you to tackle The Go-Betweens some time

I am not sure , but this songs was from the 1930's in a movie with Clark Gable.

Karen had...what can only be described as a...warm sand sound. Tori's voice is warm but no sand, just smooth.

Great song !

Which one is the most beautiful love song of the whole rock history? a) "Nights In White Satin" by The Moody Blues b) "We've Only Just Begun" by Carpenters c) Other (specify) You can publish the answer on next Valentine's day..

"Stairway To Heaven" is more than THE anthem of the whole rock history, it's THE revelation at all. I gave them my soul when I was sixteen and now they are not going to give it me back.

THE anthem of the generation (Gen. X) that doesn't need an anthem at all.

While at it, listen to other of their older stuff. Lots of old awesome songs.

Nick Lowe is great! Lots of great songs AND Johnny Cash was his father in law.

That was cool!

I heard in a interview that Taco actually got to talk with the man who wrote the song. Taco said he was a real hoot to talk too! I think the man lived to be 101 years old.

Yeah 👍

Hey love this video! I liked that you done a reaction to it too! Just love the way he sing the song made it his own way!

Wow, I never thought I'd see anyone reacting to this gem ! .. I love Rockpile, and have their only album, "Seconds of Pleasure", which has some other cool songs on it such as "Heart", which is just as boppy and infectiously catchy as this one .. But Rockpile also put out quite a few other albums that were released as solo albums for either Nick Lowe or Dave Edmunds. They also played together on various other records by artists like Carlene Carter and Mickey Jupp .. I have pretty much all of the records they played on under Nick and Dave's names, as well as for Carlene and Mickey. The 4 members of Rockpile ( Nick, Dave, Billy Bremner, and Terry Williams ) are all individually brilliant musicians and I just love their work .. Glad you love this song too, Sue .. Apparently it was a Number 51 hit in the US, but didn't chart anywhere else.

We played this song in my college band. One of my favorite songs to sing.

Great song and Band The idea of Rockpile being a one hit wonder it kinda shocking but they are through a technicality The four guys Dave Edmunds , Nick Lowe , Billy Bremner and. Terry Williams were a band that played on at least 6 albums together 3 : Dave Edmunds solo 1 Nick Lowe solo And for some reason 1 under the moniker Rockpile So bottom line This band played Girls Talk Crawling from the Wreckage Queen of Hearts Cruel to be Kind I love the sound of Breaking glass And yet technically 1 hit wonders Unbelievable

PLEASE UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS CHANNEL EVERYONE

Surprisingly, I haven't heard this song before, although Rockpile sounds familiar but that might be because I gone to see live bands at a bar with the same name in Toronto. Nice tune and video.

Ohh I don't think I know this song, though I do vaguely remember the band, I think they're from England.. Nice boppy song and it's lovely to watch your smile and your reaction Sue!

Great way to start my day! This is one of those songs that you can't get out of your head once it's there! Loved it!

Oh cool ! Dexy’s start as a soul band and then Kevin reinvented the band for the Come on Eileen Dance Stance name checks lots of Irish authors because Kevin roots

Another song I haven't heard in ages. With a better understanding of music I can appreciate this song a lot more now than when I was in my early teens. It was almost like hearing the song for the first time. Very creative song and a fun listen. Loved the tap dance, you kinda knew that had to be in the song considering all the musical tropes present from that era. What was also cool was the synthy voicing for the word "Super-Duper". I beginning to see your "FUN" theme for this week songs. Hopefully Come on Eileen is in the mix for this week.

Enjoying the review. Can't wait for Falco doing "Rock me Amadues".

This song always reminds me of the Frankenstein monster dancing to this song with Gene Wilder in "Young Frankenstein". Hilarious movie. Always enjoy your fun facts.

Didn't mind this one, but I can't say it was much more than radio background music to me .. I thought that I had heard an older version of this without the reference to actor Gary Cooper in the lyrics .. So I checked, and the original lyrics are totally different in the section where Gary is later mentioned .. The version with him in it was a revised one from 1946.

Another hit from mainland Europe , Holland this time Cant help think of the great scene from Mel Brooks movie Young Frankenstein ( I wonder what Irving thought of that ) Maybe it the robotic nature of performance but this put me in mind of a few Steampunk bands definitely a forerunner Have you ever heard of Steam Powered Giraffe ? If not check out their song Honeybee Or some of their great covers like Rhainna’s Diamonds Well worth a visit Have a great day

Fantastic song, and still sounds great today .. I remember that within a fairly short time after this was a hit, "New Clear Days" ( the album it came from ) was commonly found in the bargain bins at record stores .. I bought it for a couple of dollars and it was a pretty decent listen, with a number of catchy tracks such as "News At Ten" .. Can definitely hear some Jam influences.

Love it ! .. But strangely, I had never heard of it until in recent years, through people mentioning it on reaction channels such as yours, Sue .. It was only a minor hit in Australia ( peaking at 57 ), so I may not have heard it on the radio at the time .. The beautiful chorus ( and ending ) is so euphoric and uplifting in its feel, even though Major Tom's fate is unknown .. Very cool song !

Yes, too short but the album included three tracks with variations of the song.

Well, that's a new one for me, I have never heard this song before! It was interesting..

I love the shout out to William Shatner in the song.

I liked this song when it came out, another song I haven't heard in eons. Sue I've been meaning to ask you is that The Circus album Erasure? I'm a huge fan of the album The Innocents album, love every song on the album.

Another fun song, I haven't heard this song in quite some time. For me the song was radio noise, wasn't a fan of the song but it had energy enough to like it like many songs of the 80's.

Another great pick. ! What was if with Germany and all those 1 hit wonders You already did Nena and I can think of 1 pr 2 more. I am happy to report that this song had no falling out of circulation This is the de facto anthem for German soccer team in UEFA 2024 tournament It is such fun to head a whole stadium full of fans singing this kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKGckKKap9xqn5osi=QWJwKCRlHcIVGfl5

😃

Auf Deutsch? JA! Auf Englisch? Nein!

In Germany Nena was not a One-Hit-Wonder. The band had a lot of hits and was also successful in Europa. So Nena was only in the USA a One-Hit-Wonder 😉
