[@zimmermaniacs]

had the pleasure of playing whole wide world with him somewhere late 80's when I played support with my band, we also did Johnny b goode together, afterwards he asked us " why the fuck you play that ? everyone plays o carol because of the stones ", our answer : maybe we're just as stubborn as you man " lol

My fave Wreckless song (along with Final Taxi). Brill production job by Nick Lowe, I believe :)

Working at the bank and counting out the money for no Thanks Going down the drain she's only got herself to blame Going round in circles arriving back at where she's Coming from Life for Miss Judy surely can't be any fun She bends down and whispers things in your ear But Judy girl that's not the kind of things I wanna Hear Oh oh oh, hit and miss judy The world's only here for girls like you to be rude in It Oh oh oh, hit and miss judy Keep on trying you're sure to fire off a direct hit Working all day for the pleasure of beholding a heaven On earth Life for Miss Judy it's an endless succession of Physical jerks Blown with all the elegant charm of a monogrammed Handkerchief Judy stands serene in a palace of sin beyond her Wildest dreams She bends down and whispers things in your ear But Judy girl that's not the kind of things I wanna Hear Oh oh oh, hit and miss judy The world's only here for girls like you to be rude in It Oh oh oh, hit and miss judy Keep on trying you're sure to fire off a direct hit Sometimes she thinks she'll get away with it She might just hit the target But Judy girl I wish you'd call it a day Oh my darling you're so alarming She scares me to death with the effort of trying to be Everybody's friend I see they've regrouped on the highway now and everyone Involved Is going round the bend But when Judy takes aim you won't be seeing anyone for Miles and miles 'Cause if Judy hits the target you're guaranteed to be Paralysed And then she'll bend down and whisper things in your Ear But Judy girl that's not the kind of things I wanna Hear Oh oh oh, hit and miss judy The world's only here for girls like you to be rude in It Oh oh oh, hit and miss judy Keep on trying you're sure to fire off a direct hit

[@61sticky]

[@SeventiesMania]

Getting back to rock n roll basics lol. Nice.

[@drstevie]

FAB !

[@drstevie]

So GOOD :)

[@zapatazx]

Luv it. Summer 1980 swedish radio was playing this and it made me laugh because you could never hear anything like this in the U.S. The US is SO-not progressive or open... and I lived in L.A.! KROQ kiss my ass. Long live Radio Free Sweden!

[@zimmermaniacs]

found the original oranje vinyl 2 weeks ago, me very happy

[@rumcove07]

I remember seeing him live on the "Out From Under the Wife's Feet' Tour at Surrey Uni around the time this came out. The opening act, The Softies were doing great until the lead singer caught a bottle in the head along with all the gob!

[@andywhite960]

I saw Sham 69 get the same treatment at Surrey Uni. It wasn’t friendly fire, it was Angry Hippies R Us for a while back then.

[@JoeSoapx]

It was 79 when it was released.

[@The12stringbassist]

Genius!

[@ulfb5185]

Nope, I'm sure it was released in the spring or summer of -79, because I heard it a lot on the radio when I was over in Britain on an Inter Rail trip in July-August 1979...

Still miss Mary x

[@Neptuneman07]

The only song by Wreckless Eric I have ever heard in the US was at a college station I've worked at 5 years ago. I think the US is only 30 years behind schedule, lol.

[@steviebunch6861]

[@alastairnaughton1288]

[@oldmighty]

@stephenbamford740 Then I must have been wrong, although this is what Wikipedia says: Wreckless Eric: October 1979 "Hit And Miss Judy" "Let’s Go To The Pictures" Stiff BUY 49 Thanks for the correction.

[@Chippy3]

It really sounds like he says little miss judy

Василий, курицы, как и петуха не летают. Россияне начали свои родословные и генетические коды копать, сколько было публикаций, очень очень удивились. Покупайте ь в себе

[@guitarpop]

Except that most genres of popular music were created there...
