Barbarella - The Bongos (1983)

[@averyvolk3355]

OMG I have been looking for this for EVER!

[@SteveAydt]

New Wave is still the shit. There's so much of it unheard that it might as well be amazing new music, coming to us from the past to brighten our new Dark Age. Cheers from Mansion of Madness Radio, KNON.org 89.3 FM in Dallas. Fridays. Midnight.

[@brettbigham8420]

I drove from my country college into the big city just to buy this album, got back to the dorm, put it on the record player and played it over and over and over....very loudly. All of my REO Speedwagon and Quiet Riot Dorm mates just had to lump it.

[@RichardBaroneOfficial]

YEAH!!!

[@bodacioustness5054]

Best memory ever.

[@sikorskybama1]

I heard it on KROQ 106.7 Los Angeles back in the days, great tune.

[@WhitneyH]

I still own this EP today. ;) Thanks for posting.

[@mosesberkowitz3298]

You are such an 80's hottie...hubba hubba

[@Porsche996driver]

Beautiful. Timeless. Heard this on KROQ of the 80s today and forgot the band. Thanks for posting up!

[@CarlosGomez-vt9pk]

Barbarella was my first Bongos song I heard on KROQ, and Numbers With Wings is (of course) my favorite.

[@NFL294]

why so few views?this is classic 80's pop,and a damm fine band too

[@mosesberkowitz3298]

This song/band is forgotten. Awesome music, but utterly forgotten. I'm an 80's nut and I just heard this song for the first time in 30 years.

[@RichardBaroneOfficial]

@@mosesberkowitz3298 Forgotten by some, remembered by others :) Thank you for listening!

[@ronrice2975]

@@RichardBaroneOfficial Forgotten ???? Still in heavy rotation.

[@RichardBaroneOfficial]

@@ronrice2975 Thank you! :)

[@Ann_Dromeda]

"When the last bulldozer drives up..." One of THE best lines EVER in a song!

[@RichardBaroneOfficial]

Thank you for noticing that line! RCA wanted me to change it because they didn't understand it lol.

[@ericmccormack2567]

I haven’t heard this since WHFS 99.1 played it one night in 1984. Thank you.

[@TheDragonninja1983]

I heard this one on KROQ.

[@Ann_Dromeda]

I once knocked over a lamp whilst jumping around my room to this in the 80's. OOPS!

[@bodacioustness5054]

Pretty sure that happened ot me, too.

[@andrewdouglass1427]

Back in the day in Nashville, in regular rotation on "Rock Of The 80s, 1240 WKDA"

[@tishgrier]

Such a great song. Saw these guys at Rutgers U. sometime in the 80s. crazy fun show! What happened to fun? and good pop?

[@RainsWorldVegasSlots]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmexh2CHmbCcrqs Here you go

[@ovicello61]

I saw them open up for the B-52's at the Roseland Ballroom on April 11, 1982. Awesome show. Didn't know they did this song. It was played on WLIR, which had a new wave format in the mid 80's.

[@pcsbeat]

ovicello61 miss WLIR....

Barbarella, Barbarella I've got no stake in the future I've done it all through your eyes When that last bulldozer drives up Barbarella, I'll be here with you Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah O-o-o Barbarella O-o-o Barbarella O-o-o Barbarella O-o-o Barbarella I'll throw a party and I'm invited I'm catching a bridge to somewhere Gonna wash my hands of this whole mess Barbarella, you get the picture Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah Barbarella, Barbarella O-o-o Barbarella O-o-o Barbarella Barbarella!

[@GhostCave]

Thanks for posting this music

[@PaulV513]

One of my all-times faves! This used to pack the dancefloor at Man Ray, Cambridge MA back in the day!

[@davekapulsky]

I use to play this on WRSU-FM when I worked side by side with Matt Pinfield, and a popular spin when I worked at The Melody in New Brunswick. Still sounds great!!!

[@JulezWinnfield]

@ WIBG Dave Rave Was Matt Pinfield the same annoying pretensious name dropping arse-clown he later become on MTV? Always implying he was hipper and cooler than the rest of us viewers by name dropping some obscure indie band's song or album title. "Yeah...this song is reminiscent of (insert obscure indie band name) their third track off their debut album which was only available as a U.K. import".

[@tishgrier]

ah, how I fondly remember Matt P. , WRSU-FM and everyone else who dj'd back then....and The Melody! what a place to see and be seen. ok, now I feel old ;)

[@Warp7JukeBox]

Looking forward to seeing The Bongos with The Rubinoos in 2 weeks in NJ. Got my tickets and totally psyched.

[@distortion20]

great movie.... great song..... thanks for posting..

[@andrewdouglass1427]

NASHVILLE! Rock of the 80s--1240 WKDA

[@averyvolk3355]

Anita Pallenberg was in the movie and I feel this song picks up on her vibe at the time. (Keith Richard's girlfriend).

[@warrenermish1454]

Killer song!

[@raserx63]

Heard on the great WLIR , Long Island, NY 👍. Check out the fun documentary “ Dare to be Different” for the story of that little station that did big things in the music industry.

[@paulb111]

That's a cool song.

[@dtlaguy3874]

"I'll throw a party and im invited im catching a bridge to somewhere gonna wash my hands of this whole mess barbarella, you get the picture"

Perhaps over produced but I love the short breakdown

[@RichardBaroneOfficial]

What's overproduced about it? 4 guys playing music in a room lol?

[@RichardBaroneOfficial]

But thank you for listening!
