Jona Lewis. Unique. Different. Classic 80s pop. I don't miss everything from the 80s just mostly the music.

[@ralucagymnast]

This is such a great song; beneath the tongue in cheek lyrics that synth is pretty dark and menacing....absolutely brilliant tune:)

[@NormAppleton]

It's also, male or female a story about hanging in the Kitchen hoping someone might notice you.

[@NormAppleton]

In the 80's I congregated in the Kitchen at parties. Jona was right, you have to talk before you dance or fuck.

[@NormAppleton]

The kitchen was always the best place to be at partys. Where the smart girls were,

[@NormAppleton]

Ah I see, Jonna, the hair cut man was giving me a hint. Thank you Jonna. It's been a while. I think you need a haircut.

[@NormAppleton]

If you were at parties, you found yourself in the kitchen hoping someone with a brain said hello.

[@Sodaoat]

anyone who can fit the word 'rebuffed' into a song is a genius.

[@angelogandolfo4174]

And.... 12 years later.... the same goes for ‘Cordon Bleu’ (cookery), in the following verse.....

[@NormAppleton]

True

[@NormAppleton]

@@angelogandolfo4174 How can you not love this man? With his new haircut and everything.

[@DynamicoDesigns]

'Tell Me Your Secrets' brought me here. Instant fan. 😁

[@GrubbyGaming009]

I am 15 Years old and my Dad showed me this song when I was 5, he used to play it to me before I went to sleep. Listening to it now here in 2023 brings back so many memories. Great Song!

[@ajs41]

Do you also like other songs by Jona Lewie, like Louise and Stop The Cavalry?

[@NormAppleton]

Your father is wise

[@harleygal420]

I brought myself here because I have good taste in music. Love the 80's.

[@Gus1966-c9o]

I remember this song so well ! I was 14 and loved the back up singers

[@conntba]

This is the definition of 80's music... synths, strange lyrics, audience apathy. I loved Top of The Pops, even if I wasn't into the music.

[@antonking9652]

hahaha bang on strange days indeed

[@chantalvandenberge7848]

Nicely commented on the audience apathy... TRUTH!

[@snoochyboochy7991]

2:06 is hilarious 😅 WTF!!

[@leewilliams2763]

Brilliant song. I also loved Louise. Love tongue-in-cheek dancing. Videos now are like mini porn flicks with crap songs

[@stormhawk3319]

Yeah what was it with that TOTP audience?

[@johnxmashitsdobson5145]

Nice song a change from Stop the Cavalry lol love this catchy tune🇬🇧😍🖐️✋

[@Floyd1138]

After watching this i will dance in a new way for the rest of my life.

[@ravsingh5347]

What a nice master piece from the 80's...👏😜👍🙏

[@Chevalblanc]

It's from 1978

[@ravsingh5347]

May 1980...i actually thought.....

[@Chevalblanc]

@@ravsingh5347 You're right. Thanks 👍

[@mikefellows3901]

Great song and still to this day, almost 40 years on, love the hand / arm antics of the keyboard player :o) ! Great sounds, great times !

[@Donegaldan]

Jonah Lewie is an acquired taste. I appreciate his sense of humour and unique singing style.

[@NormAppleton]

That's why we'll find you in the kitchen at parties

[@NormAppleton]

An acquired taste, you betcha. Once acquired it's loved. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6PKm6d5pbh2j9U

[@merseydave1]

I just turned 15 then and I loved this song, over the years, many lovers ... of late I'm still serving my time in the kitchen.

[@HolyGoddessMotherAnne]

Most of us are in the kitchen mate.

[@merseydave1]

@@HolyGoddessMotherAnne Just been to a party and ... in the kitchen again.

[@chrislittler424]

My mum actually danced that funky dance, 20 years before Jonah Lewis! Love it!

[@snerper]

My friend John was a bass guitarist and appeared with Jonah in the Terry Dactyl days, he said Jonah was a great geezer!

[@stevebolton4143]

Seaside Shuffle.,😊

[@snerper]

@@stevebolton4143 Spot on Steve, I still listen to it all these years later 🙄 how sad is that ? 😮‍💨the Bass guitarist, my mate John was called John Sturtivant, but the band always called him 'Sturdy Pants'🤫🤭! We worked on the Brighton and Hove Environmental Service together as pest controllers, he was a great laugh, and a decent guitarist too! Have a good weekend mate, all the best to you and yours!👍👍👍👍👍

[@truespyfan]

What a classic song... Outstanding! I'd forgotten about this song, since a cassette was stolen 20+yrs ago lol!! Great voice, great tune, great era... Love the voice... Great stuff. Brilliant! Thanks for posting it.

[@kevinscollan8293]

Haha cassette !😎💕🖖

[@Ellemaggie]

This song is so reminiscent of the 80's lol we were always in the kitchen at parties 😊

[@TheLogic1010]

The synthesizer sequence is the best bit!

[@ajs41]

Yeah, that's the bit that makes it sound very New Wave / post-punk.

[@youbigtubership]

1:34 I just noticed the tap swing in. 😂 What a cool song. I remembered Louise immediately when I heard it again, but this one got in deep.

[@andreasboose5611]

"Louise" and this one are underated Masterpieces ❤

[@Chrisc9467]

Still does it for me . 80s Weird? Well if you were there, it wasn't. Will, its just so explainable, but it was good :)

[@Tommyfazz]

oh man I just GOTTA do that dance at all this Christmas's parties. And that Lady in the green dress- wow what a gorgeous smile as she sidles up to Jona. And I got to learn the steps to that 'new dance'

[@exploreyourweb]

EXCELLENTAE. Awesome song, and so true. The kitchen is always the best place to be @ Parties. Nothing like sticking plastic cups to the kitchen ceiling with dip. :)

[@steverowlands338]

Classic 80's Synth. Just don't make em like this anymore!!! Fucking tragic!!!

[@MrShorthairhippy]

I keep coming back to this!

[@paulhagan5170]

Fantastic song very dark synth appropriate for May 1980

[@janzeeman5391]

Ah, how true, finding me in kitchen at parties and great song, so undervalued. Jan

[@Asukenick]

It has been claimed that the female backing vocal is by Kirsty MacColl,but Lewie has confirmed during the recording of the song they were done by the wives of producer Andrews and Dave Robinson, the owner of Stiff Records. MacColl did however appear as a backing vocalist during live performances.

[@NormAppleton]

It's Kirsty in the video

[@NormAppleton]

It's her in this wee gem. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6PKm6d5pbh2j9U

[@NormAppleton]

Kirsty is on "I think I need my haircut" kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6PKm6d5pbh2j9U

Just seen this on Runaround on Talking Pictures 16/08/20

[@zapkvr]

Damn those birds are groovey.

[@badbully77]

I wanna go as them.to the next fancy dress

[@jamesmckean3221]

@De St "Either strut your stuff, or bog off" they'd have said.

[@colinjennings3661]

the great Kirsty mccoll was one of the ladies when Jona was on top of the pops

[@ABCDEF-le7zq]

Beautiful song I keep listening to. Just to make sure I understand it very well, is the topic of this song about "different" people, awkward in their social life but no matter their behaviour, soon or late, with time, they finally "find the shoe to their foot" (or the perfect fit). Thanks and regards from France.

[@brunobridge7253]

It made it to no.16 in the UK in 1979. The synth is an Oberheim SEM based 8-voice, plus an ARP Odyssey mk1. And yes, I was the geek always in the kitchen at teenage parties.....

[@brunobridge7253]

Correction - the Obie on screen is a 4-voice.

[@donvalleydon]

It was great to hear this track again..brings back so many awesome memories. Someone stole my vinyl release of this track and it's hard to replace... Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

[@Suteruni]

OMG so love this song, heard it today after years.........

the 80's were where it all happended

[@rickicoughlan8299]

Except that this song was released in 1978 . . .

[@bryanpartington3260]

I loved the sombre moody sounds of those synth songs of the early eighties .

[@World-Superbike]

Just a classic!

[@CaptainOfTheLostWaves]

Wondrous in its self deprecation and astute ‘English observation’ .... melodically brilliant and so rich in the synth textures. I think I need interpret this as a stand alone ‘Cover ‘ as I love it . Oh and the Dancing 💃 🎩

[@LyndaLand]

I finally found it!!!!! yeah.

[@stingray4real]

The backing singer in the green dress is Kirsty MacColl who later had a Chrismas hit with Shane MacGowan with Fairy Tale In New York

[@Propinkwity]

This (and Musik Laden) are definitely the best versions of this catchy. clever and cool song to be uploaded on KZbin, The girl in green is Beautiful!
