The LUCY SHOW - 'A Million Things' (Music Promo VIDEO) - HQ 720HD - band

[@mkoschara]

The greatest song that none of my friends have ever listened to before.

[@andrewhudson3723]

Love The Lucy Show. Wish they would have a reunion

[@taciaamostis6473]

@Andrew Hudson... Same here, especially if they're all alive and well enough to do so. I would want them to play Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal though... seeing as 2 of them are from Canada. I hope The Lucy Show reunites, even if only for just one tour. It'd be fcukin' awesome!! C'mon guys! Please, please, please? Look at how many lives you've touched in such a positive way. Look at how many of us STILL remember you! It's not too late. It's never too late. Mark Burgess / The Chameleons UK did it, why can't you? Seriously, please consider it. Cheers. : ) (Saturday, April 2nd, 2022@11:40am EST)

[@dampergoldenrod4156]

@@taciaamostis6473 if i heard them in the 1980s i do not remember but this song has that great alternative music sound of the mid 1980s. up to around 2013 i felt a lot of good feelings about the music of the mid 1980s but now it is a sad reminder of the good things that are gone. going to see a 1980s artist perform is one of the few things left to enjoy.

[@88gel88]

Yes. This band was incredibly underrated! Phenomenal songwriting and musicianship. Two excellent releases and then...they were dropped by their label just as they were making a major splash in the US on the college radio charts. Criminally underrated. Thanks for asking that question though and enjoy!

[@celiaayneto9232]

Great time, funny days - love the band!

[@PakPhotog]

Had the pleasure to go to a show in Los Angeles that was The Lucy Show, The Bolshoi, and Dramarama. Great show. I was a fan of all three at the time.

[@rodgre]

I would have given my arm to see The Lucy Show and the Bolshoi back then. Both two major influences on the early days of my music.

[@handlemelhsonn]

bolshoi... and the lucy show!? lucky!!!

[@NatureGirl62]

I heard this band in the 1980s on 105.3 in San Francisco ("Live 105") and bought their album (on vinyl - yes, I am dating myself). I have never forgotten them, and often wonder where they are now. Thank you so much for posting this.

[@rsands9]

NatureGirl62 thanks for listening to Live 105!

[@zamaz99]

Do you also remember The Quake "college rock" alternative radio station, KQAK FM99 in the Bay Area? I listened to it when I attended UC Berkeley. It lasted from '82-'85 and played music like this. It was incredible!

[@dmarcus1260]

@@zamaz99 I remember The Quake! I was so bummed out when The Quake ended during the summer of ‘85. It was a great station while it lasted.

[@zamaz99]

@@dmarcus1260 - Me too! But I was happy that Live 105 came along not long after.

[@gel6988]

Great to read all of these tributes/ remembrances. The Lucy Show are one of the criminally underrated bands of their era. Great band, and I have friends who went to see them live in San Diego and said that there were 8 "attendees." They still rocked like there were 30,000. I love this band and always have. Great to see so many "finding" them.

[@lefrauens]

I was one of 8!

[@stevemcgrath9299]

Totally agree with you, a totally underrated band. Have always been a massive fan, musically. Still have both of their vinyl albums, though I used to have all their 12" singles, but no more. Will never stop listening to them.

[@stevemcgrath1634]

Everyone says to many a band 'underrated', but THIS IS a band that should have been massive, even to this day! Have both albums and a few 12" singles and can still stands among many a band that are out there today.

[@shckltnebay]

I saw them once in OC Cal

[@deeray41]

WHFS 99.1 FM. Ahh, the Grapes of Wrath, Let's Active, The Northern Pikes, The Railway Children, and sooo many others... Takes me back.

[@Anglovox]

AHH, YES!!!!!....PRE-Infinity WHFS ownership, prior to 1989....Truly INSPIRED radio!!! The 1996 Telecommunications Act prevent this EVER happening again...but it was awesome that it was a part of our lives, during our relative "youth."

[@handlemelhsonn]

the railway children are so freakin good! criminally underrated imo.

[@georgemathie8123]

This is excellent and another lost power pop 80s band but thank you KZbin for keeping this music alive also this great song was produced by the legendary John Leckie

[@janthompson2855]

John Leckie produced my mates cd.

[@TheCharlesagain]

I had a 12 inch of this song. Played so many times at parties at my house, when people had parties at their house, and could really party. Nice memories. Killer. cheers for posting.

[@stevemcgrath9299]

Still have the 12" single of this and the 12'" of 'Leonardo da Vinci'. Both have and will last ! Brilliant!

[@siouxtodd]

Oh wow, fond memories of my teens and discovering a new band. Loved The Lucy Show!

[@jedendwatrzy4189]

Love this song.

[@gregy623]

The Lucy Show was well known in Detroit. I had "Remembrances" on vinyl but it got stolen. I still have the rcorded wav files on the computer and will try to post.

[@olaoluwaafolayan6554]

There’s so much to love about this song that it’s impossible to unpack it all - but one thing that stands out to me is the brilliant use of the harmonica here!

[@mikedudek7191]

Quite simply aural magic that has withstood the test of time.

[@leracoleraco]

This band were favourites in DC and would get club and video club play. Did OK on the dance floor for a song with this beat. They were on Big Time records and were victims of the unethical business practices that plagued all the acts signed to that label 1986-1989. Many acts got suckered in by those guys. Hoodoo Gurus, Dumptruck, The Lucy Show, Redd Kross, Exploding White Mice, Alex Chilton, Love and Rockets, Jazz Butcher Conspiracy, The Pastels, Dream Syndicate, Christmas, Love Tractor etc.

[@ArtaudD2]

Both of their albums are now available on cd and mp3. I can't tell you how happy it makes me-I nearly destroyed my cassettes from listening to them endlessly.

[@tedcantu1]

I ran out and bought this on vinyl after seeing late night on MTV back in the day. Loved it. This song is still great.

[@duffbaker9554]

I did the same thing.

[@philwright2480]

Such an underated band, saw them open for Love And Rockets at The Hollywood Palladium, they were fantastic, we left about half way through Love And Rockets.

[@Anglovox]

Saw them at the OLD Nightclub 930(930 F St., NW) in either November or December of 1986, the day after Desi Arnez died...and they dedicated the show in his tribute. Cool.

[@surfski80]

I have lots of memories from the old 9:30 club in Georgetown. Miss those days.

[@Anglovox]

....and they (The Lucy Show) were a couple of really decent, warm, and friendly dudes.

[@kylecduncan]

Excellent band from the post-punk files of the early 80s. When I was a student at UCLA I interviewed these guys for The Daily Bruin and saw them at The Roxy. Nice blokes.

[@taciaamostis6473]

@Kyle Duncan... Have a blog? Upload the interview! If you caught it on tape, upload it here on KZbin. Cheers!

All about the Lucy show i knew, was the Lucille Ball tv show untill dj-dragnet /InDepthMusic ,passed by and played The LUCY SHOW loud ,Thanx !!!!!!!

[@adin200]

[@ccroy2001]

I'm digitizing my LP's (Probably going to take a year) and I just did "Mania" this weekend. Very underrated. And the lead singer so cute! I was I was 20 again! 😅

[@mauricescott451]

I agree. I have a few cassette tapes that I still listen too.

[@Epoxinator]

I was recently able to replace my warped version of "...undone" with a remastered, expanded reissue from words on music dot com. Haven't heard the album in 15 years: it's still, and again, one of my favorite bands and albums. That same company has also remastered/reissued/expanded "Mania" and released a compilation of earlier singles called "Remembrances." I had never heard any of the songs on that release.

[@jinu337]

Oh my.....I've been searching for "See it goes (Parsons Green Version)" for a while now and can't find it anywhere except Spotify. Haven't seen it on youtube either. If you can upload that song you'll make my day!!!!

[@rsands9]

A hit on Live 105 in San Francisco!

[@shannow77]

This is the best that I can make of the lyrics after listening to a version with better quality: Your hero waits at the golden gates Pouring out marbles, rolling out on a stage Not a lot to say But remember me, recollect my scenes Eyes wide open, see how far I've gone I'll catch the freedom bus alone And if blind designs filled up thy shrines A million things you've said go round and round instead This time I can't get back to you again Trying to lose these suburban blues Waxwork dummy with cake and candles for you What can a poor boy do? Cause your hero waits and he hesitates My favourite vice can't go the ride I'd only string your loyal friend along And if all designs come back in time A million things you've said go round and round instead (What's up this time?) This time I can't get back to you again A million things you've said go round and round instead (What's up this time?) This time I can't get back to you again A million things you've said go round and round and round and round (What's up this time?) This time I can't get back I can't get back I can't get back A million things you've said A million things you've said A million, a million, a zillion, a trillion, a billion, a squillion things you've said... to me

[@BurkeBurnett]

Thanks, Planky. I actually contacted Mark Bandola (Lucy Show singer and lyricist) to ask him what the lyrics are and he was kind enough to reply. Yours are very close, but since this came from Bandola himself, we can consider it definitive. The hero waits at the golden gates Pouring out marbles rolling out on a stage Not a lot to say But remember me recollect my scenes Eyes wide open see how far I’ve gone I'll catch the freedom bus alone And if blind designs build up like shrines… A million things you said Go round and round instead This time I can’t back to you again Trying to lose these suburban blues Waxwork dummy with cake and candles for you What can a poor boy do? But your hero waits and hesitates My favourite vice can dull the ride I’m on You'll string your loyal friend along And if all designs come back in time… A million things you said Go round and round instead (What’s up this time?) This time I can’t back to you again A million things you said Go round and round instead (What’s up this time?) This time I can’t back to you -- again A million things you said Go round and round and round (What’s up this time?) This time I can’t get back I can’t get back I can’t get back A million things you said A million things you said A million, a billion, a trillion, a zillion, a brilliant thing you said To me…

Good song. Why did they call themselves The Lucy Show? This is a good example of great 1980s college radio music from the 1980s. I, like others here, want to know what the lyrics are about in this song.

[@gel6988]

Seriously? No one after me commenting on this incredible music? WTF? Is Justin Bieber still getting stupid money for what he's selling? There is nothing coming out right now that is better than this! Cheers, Gary PS. Oh yeah, it's 2017...
