"Get Off My Case" by Comateens

[@Vasilouxxx]

This was the first ever HOUSE music track

[@23Dakini]

I always sang the lyric as "get off my face!" Brings back memories, haven't heard this song since the 80's.

[@nickdoescrack2988]

I can't believe that there is only 3 songs on iTunes from this band. They are amazing.

[@urusoimi]

you need to switch to Rhapsody/Napster...so much better.

[@TricatelVision]

"Comateens" "Pictures On A String" and "Deal With It" have all been reissued and now available on all platforms !

For the life of me, I could not remember the name of this group. I only remembered the title of the song. I haven't seen this video in nearly 25 years. Very cool song! Thanks for the post.

[@merlinpix]

Love this song. Damn I'm so old: saw them do this at the Peppermint Lounge in NYC...eons ago..LOL

[@MrAtomicThunder]

Comateens ROCK!!!!!!

[@baward]

They came to the studio I worked in in London (Basing Street Studios, later Sarm West) where they worked on this and The Late Mistake. I have very strong memories of the great tunes - less so the guys in the band though.

[@vincefarin7273]

Love this one as well as the title track of the album

[@gojump7]

@1:21, after seeing the lead singer leave, the security guard thinks to himself, "I hope this new mullet thing doesn't become a trend!" LOL LOVE the song btw. Reminiscing about WLIR...

[@insanelook]

F#&@ excellent track, I remember.

[@a0b0]

greg wilson used this in one of his mixes on piccadilly radio, here in manchester england, back in 1983. that was where i first heard this.

[@Vasilouxxx]

The flipside "dub mix" is the first HOUSE record x Copied by Steve silk Hurley 2/3 years later x

[@andrewdouglass1427]

I was gonna say something about Jon Cryer, but I'd rather focus on the Comateens, who were spectacular.

Anybody who doesn't bop along to this song must be dead!

Wtf! I goin thru my old 12in disc and this is goin in the trash pile with others

[@keepcalmycarryon]

1:28 - 1:30 This is where I blew it.

[@PAULLONDEN]

Brighton DeChienne What was it you blew ?

[@keepcalmycarryon]

Greetings, *****! It is quite the pleasure to "meet," is it _not_?? The answer to your query, so aptly put, is "a warm, fully-clotted cup of Cornish Cream Tea." And yes, my boy, I used my _mouth,_ as this has been English custom since before the dawn of TIME. May I pose a query of my own, but only with Sir's full consent?? Donnie Hicks

[@keepcalmycarryon]

*Ahem*

[@PAULLONDEN]

Brighton DeChienne Still waiting for what you blew....pleased to meet btw..

[@keepcalmycarryon]

Ah, how de-lighted I was this morn to receive your message, hand-written & sealed in wax by my Faithfull domestic Randley ([e-mail])& subsequently allow the dimly expanding light of the Bornean sun to bring your colloquial KZbinry correspondence to fruition as bucolic vulgarity in my garish summer-home here in, well... you guessed it: Borneo. Like two Natives lazily fighting over the last, juicy piece of finger-bone from a freshly garroted Pongo pygmaeus (Bornean Orangutan to your dainty ears), it would seem we find ourselves in a Swarthy-man's Stand-off as to who's Query shall undergo the first, obligatory "palming." As I believe that my Drift had the needed Gust to be Caught, I have generously enclosed an Internet-ed Link to a previous correspondence that shall, with Grace of Majesty's Received Pronunciation, _juuuuuust_ might Illu-minate thee to an inner syntax under-pinning the glowering impetus of our malignant Youth. plus.google.com/u/0/114589844723502148583/posts/7BPQv36y37B As the Day has now risen to the point of Noon as I complete this Meditation on the Futility of perfunctory human interaction, I retire, Grandly, to the deck as the silent German summons Natives to bring forth Bleach & fresh palm fronds for the daily "hue adjustment" of my anus from an "aged Mahogany" to that of "Dark Plum." What say you?"? Good Day & Rule, Britannia! Faithfully Yours in Service to the Queen, _Brighton Margaret DeChienne, Esq,_

@therealsoulproduct That's what I said, too!

[@Theaterkunst]

No. You're WRONG. Even the dead bop.

[@BLACKJEFF]

Recycled white boy funk riffs, cheap synths, vapid chanted lyrics, generic toms= one great song. Go figure.
