Not really, Lene Lovich was a notably quirky leading light of New Wave, but her timing was nothing less than perfect. At that point we were all primed for a Eurotrash princess to grab the pop sweepstakes, someone not so dark as Slouxsie, but not totally mental like Nina Hagen. Lene had just the right mix of spunk and sex appeal, and her operatic vocal stylings added an exotic flair. I'd say she made an impact comparable to Thomas Dolby, who collaborated with her on the single "New Toy". Lovich also sang backup vocals on Dolby's album The Golden Age of Wireless.

There's something incredibly soothing about watching that girl scout putting the music on and smiling. Almost maternal in her encouragement to dance.The song itself is an incredible blend of post-punk chaos and primal rhythm. Perfectly placed into 1979. A pivotal year. We cut to 1963 monochrome footage of Bobby Banas at his expressive zenith dancing to the nitty gritty on the Judy Garland show. His gesticulations synching perfectly with Lene Lovich. Judy clicks her heels as the sound of 16 years hence fades in from beyond the yellow brick road. "I, I, I, I, I I now detect an alien vibration here There's something in the air besides the atmosphere"... Prophetic words echoing as the rounds whistle through the Dealy Plaza air creating the conditions for the seismic events of the next 16 years.

I haven't heard this for ages - or watched the video. I remember the single being released in 1979 - very quirky and different; but that's why it was so popular with kids then ! A great track and definitely ahead of its time; probably comparable to Billie Eillish's stuff today. You can hear the influence of the likes of Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Devo and Patti Smith in her mysic, too - but also very original, too !
