I've seen this clip several times but never bothered to comment. These women are adorable, hysterical and brilliant. Saw them live twice with Prince and once on their own. Great to see what they dig musically. Love them

Wow, this is incrediable! This is one of the things that I had always dreamed of doing had I been fortunate enough to ever meet my girls Wendy & Lisa!

[@michaell.8938]

I would freak if I saw Wendy and Lisa in a record store. :-)

[@slingerdingkes]

one of the best episodes !!!

[@bamispeciaal1]

Wonderful to see these ladies like this after so many years (to be honest I Iost track of them for many many years). They are still very Rock 'N Roll to me.

[@prestoncassise4813]

I used to be in love with those girls when I was a kid..especially Wendy

[@StellaMayfair7]

I don't know which one of these two I love more. And the thumbnail for this is freakin' HILARIOUS!

[@eb49273]

I love Wendy & Lisa! Great artists. I still have a crush on Wendy. (I know)

[@Keepsz]

Good to see Wendy & Lisa.....They jammed back in tha day !

[@midiguy4u]

YAY LISA! Subotnik! Your hip-o-meter just shot up 100 percent with me, and you were already on my A-list!

[@angelgirlforever22]

Wow, Thank You so much for sharing this precious and personal video ~~ I cannot even say here how much I love and admire Wendy and Lisa as brilliant musicians, and I love how they are so Divinely gifted, and yet so humble, like Lisa calmly saying with the last album she picked, "We wrote one of the songs on this album..." (with Grace Jones)... It is totally awe~inspiring to see what albums they are buying, and it would be great to see what else they bought! ~ I also just discovered that Wendy and Lisa accompanied Gwen Stefani on her song, "The Real Thing," (the slow remix), which is a very beautiful song ~~ and this is what I Love the most about Wendy and LIsa ~~ they have always been about the MUSIC, more than the persona or popularity.... I just love when true musician/composers are all about the Love and Honor and Divine gift of Music itself, above all... Thank You again, and Blessings To You....

[@GiantMec]

Love them but Wendy’s enthusiasm is infectious

[@nickpelkey]

Thumbs up for Morton Subotnick and thinking about your kids. I had some classes and saw a performance with him and his wife Joan in the mid 90s. Changed my life.

[@debthemango]

thanks for the introduction to steve reich... amazing stuff! i love hearing what artists listen to- there's always nuggets of joy.

[@lacrima152]

Both of them are legends who also have a great taste in music and Wendy proves you can be a rocker and like some disco-pop stuff as well, I respect that a lot, I have a wide taste in music too 👍 I'd really love to hang out with them and talk about music as I can't find anyone who shares my music interest IRL. My fav part of the video though: Wendy: "Ah-uh, let's all chant... you remember that?" Lisa: "Hahahahaha... not really." Wendy: "That's really obscure." 😂 ...and Wendy making faces when talking about her son's music taste. 😂

[@robertstirewalt7789]

These two are beyond great

[@fg87fgd]

I think it would be cool to become friends with Lisa. Such a wonderful woman.

[@sagan1976]

Lisa Coleman knows her shit. Grace Jones' "Slave to the Rhythm" is just awesome!

[@blurpledragon2779]

Wendy is raising her boy right with those music choices .

[@leemartin2978]

Love her video clip playing"reflections" live with Prince on the TV show. Great guitar player

[@gluton77]

Checking and listening your favorite band alive Wendy, i think that is now pure love that i can feel. So much thank's Wendy to put us on this jewly jewl

[@MrJacksonvill]

Wow Wendy that was a big hit in the clubs also in New York..Lets All Chant! You Can Do It was also great..

[@jacquelineiona1996]

I thought the same dude! I was in Philly ;)

[@soundscapesMPLS]

I`m 25 and from Belgium and I also know that song so I don`t think it was as obscure as she thinks lol

[@jaramillolugo5921]

Morton Subotnick? Reich? Malcolm McLaren FANS? Trevor Horn? Sly!!! An incredible good taste! I've always admired Lisa Coleman and Wendy Melvoin and followed their music. These ladies are sooo cool they're beyond cool. And yes Wendy that's the version that goes a-a, eeh eeh let's all chant: the full lenght 7:00 12". Cheesy can also be cool...

[@angelgirlforever22]

Amen, Jaramillo ~~ Wendy and Lisa are beyond cool!

[@Bobainthome]

these two women are awesome; one of my favorite 'what's in my bag' videos...

[@TheBirdBrothers]

my favowite too

[@meacomefeyou]

Lisa and Wendy have very good taste and influences that shaped them into the goods they are. No wonder they are so good. I remember Buffy playing an elastic banjo with her teeth on Sesame Street when I was only 8 months old at my baby sitter and I was impressed and tried to pling plang with an elastic band when I was almost 1 year old Buffy was creative with the double spoons clapping too

[@mwmingram]

Woah! Some serious avant-garde classics here. Totally impressed.

[@badoocee1967]

Take a ride on The "Honeymoon of Music" Express?! 😀😎 Their taste in Music is COOL.

[@ronwess]

Wow very interesting it makes you wanna check out the material that they had but on that stands out the most was Grace Jones Slave to the Rythym. ....I was wowed the first and everytime I listened to it and man I would love to just be friends and work with Trevor and Wendy & Lisa..... ("

[@skygazer6898]

I was waiting for one of them to pull a Prince cd out of the bag lol. I love these gals!

[@StrangerInAustralia]

Haha, I never tire of this clip. Would love to see the unedited footage of this. For those wondering, that was definitely some shade thrown at Trevor Horn. He was apparently quite the asshole towards them [allegedly influenced by his very religious wife] because they were lesbians. Years later, Trevor's daughter would come out as gay. Oh, sweet irony

[@taffysaur]

long before that, he became famous to begin with by producing pet shop boys, culture club, frankie goes to hollywood, and on and on and on... every gay act you can think of, lol. ironic isn't the word for it, it's downright perverse. o_O

[@angelgirlforever22]

Amen, Thank You for letting us know about this! ~~Ignorance can sometimes be arrogance (and disrespectful intolerance) ~~ but what goes around comes around eventually ~~ and Love is Love, and God is Love, but it takes some people awhile to get that! Blessings to You....

[@angelgirlforever22]

Love Amoeba L.A., it's one of the few things that makes living here worth it. Anyway, I can tell shopping with them would be a lot more fun than going with my ex. I really hope to get my 80 y.o.grandfather down to their jazz section before its too late as he looooves Sade and Billie Holiday!

[@avid2112]

Love them.

[@sandradiaz3429]

Wendy and Lisa r true geniuses. In my opinion. Prince was very lucly.

[@Toracube]

Soul Sesame Street. Didn't even know that existed !! Cool vid seeing the gals go crazy in a record store !!

[@Oallright]

This video introduced me to The Village Soul Choir and I can't find their records anywhere. I can't wait to go to Amoeba again to pick that up.

They are yin and yang. Wendy is type A intense and chatty. Lisa is chill and laid back.

Goddammit they are so fucking cool.

[@PRODUCEDBYKEV]

As a teenage musician, mom used to get buy me albums too. Cool ones.

[@silkycp8236]

These two are great together I can't believe they are not a couple anymore. They look better together than with their partners they currently have, please consider getting back together, love Wendy and Lisa as a couple, musicians, composers arrangers, producers, and their live performances. And they still act like they are still together.

[@revak5004]

Wendy and Lisa are happy with their current partners and we should respect that

[@angelgirlforever22]

Amen, I understand what you are saying here ~~ with all respect to their personal privacy, it does feel like they will always be Soul~Mates in one way or another, because I recently read that they have known each other since they were toddlers! And it all was so Divinely destined to Be, when Wendy went to visit Lisa (at only 19 years old?) and ended up being recruited into the Revolution, and then they have evolved to compose so many albums and soundtrack songs with each other! ~ They are a very special and unique bonding, and I am so thankful that they still have such deep respect for each other... Blessings to You....

[@brucekentnyc]

The only time i came anywhere near them was in a record store in Hollywood "Musicplus" i had on a Prince t-shirt and realized as i reckonized who they were what i had on. I know the pain of the Revolutions break-up. Anyways Wendy that Hefer had the nerve to ask me if i worked there. The look i gave her "Like __Itch with a B. are you kidding me? LOL. I use to see them drive down Franklin Ave in Los Feliz where they lived in the early to mid 90's. I did not know Wendy has a child.

[@rogertrujillo7423]

"Wendy,... yes Lisa", "is the water warm enough",... "yes Lisa, shall we begin",..."yes Lisa",

[@MattDollMusic]

adore adore

[@IvanLendl87]

What's so cool about this is it shows the wide array of musical influences these girls have. And they brought this wide array of music to Prince's attention way back in the early 80's and he benefitted mightily from being exposed to so much great music that he'd not been aware of.

[@snakeeater1964]

That Steve Reich track come out, I'm Pretty sure it was sampled on the America's Most Blunted Track off Madvillainy

[@terrypussypower]

She's right about Jim Gordon, one of the best drummers ever to come out of the "Wreckin Crew", responsible for the "Apache" break so loved by Drum & Bass and Jungle artists, and his tragic story. It's actually a disgrace what happened to him, it would never have happened in the UK.
