The Secret of My Success.

drnugget: The Secret of My Success.

I want to drive that limo.

TSOMS: They played this song TWICE all the way through in that movie.

Great song.
I had bought the 12" mix of it... it was YELLOW vinyl.

The only other coloured vinyl record I had bought was Prince's Purple Rain 12" release. Or was it Let's Go Crazy... I forget.
Yes, it was purple vinyl.

/too lazy to go verify the Prince mix.

This reminds me of what a strange teen I was.

Back in the 80s I was totally into Black Sabbath,Led Zeppelin,Hendrix etc and also all the 70s "prog" stuff like King Crimson and Brian Eno...

Anyway,they used to show excerpts from the "Some Bizarre" show on USA network's Night Flight. Some Bizarre featured so many cool electronic experimental artists like Yello,Cabaret Voltaire and Einsturzende Neubauten and others. I got totally into that stuff.
It was so unlike all the heavy and hard rock music I was into but I was really attracted to the weirdness and creativity of those bands.

I was the ONLY kid around who had Yello records BEFORE Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

To this day I still regard Cabaret Voltaire as one of the single most original bands ever. I urge anybody unfamiliar with them to check out their late 70s and early 80s period. A great many artists owe them a tremendous amount but Cabaret Voltaire is still sadly somewhat obscure.
