I remember that from Pump Up the Volume

Oh looky yer name, that makes it not obscure

Errk - Their version of "Pappa Was a Rollin' Stone" is great..

Yup. Their 2nd CD was best, IMHO.

Another one of those "bands" that's really 2 great producers/musicians just farking around. "Spy in the House of Love" was kinda goofy in the late 80s, (like "Dinosaur") but I could see talent, even back then.

This reunion idea has me knocked down, made small.

+1 (not +1), subby

Happy Birthday, Dad.

The black guys were singing backup for Lyle Lovett on one of his recent tours.

"I feel good.
I feel better than James Brown.
I feel better now."

Awesome. Detroit's 5th best band ever.

SAY HI TO MOM!

Hell yeah!

I saw the 2/14 show here in LA...awesome
do yourself a favor & get tix if they come to your town....

the sky's ablaze with ladies legs.........

"hello operator... i mean dad... i mean police, i can't even remember who i am" is a stone cold classic.

sweet pea atkinson is crazy, but in a musically fantastic sort of way.

What Up Dog is one of the five greatest commercial rock albums of the 80s.

The other four:
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
Pyromania
Hunting High and Low
Lexicon of Love

I'm gonna run straight to the bowling alley and tell Shadow and Jimmy.

Concur, What Up Dog *rocked!* I especially like the cacophonic "Earth to Doris."

/she makes champagne out of 7-Up and cheap wine ... a chemist!
//she kept playing these tapes of her husband, sayin' "doesn't he sound like ELVIS!?"

I read her the funnies. I laughed, anyways.

Saw them a couple years ago in San Francisco. Good show.

I saw them open for Dire Straits in '92 (I think). I was in Germany staying with a friend and his dad was a huge Dire Straits fan. He had bought tickets for all of us to go, and he asked if I knew this band, "Was Not Was? War Nicht War, ja?"

Great show. I was most impressed with the guy that played two trumpets at the same time.
