Even if they DO find the evidence buried underneath the Boardwalk, you just know that the person responsible will have a Get Out of Jail Free Card.

But then they'll take it higher.

I love Eddy Grant.

Eddy Grant...on Electric Avenue...with a rock.

Dammit--it was Colonel Mustard with a candlestick in the conservatory. I suck at this game.

Well what did you expect down in the street there was violence and lots of work to be done. But,who is to blame in one country never can get to the one

I think you were looking for The Electric Company....

HEY YOU GUYS!

No so suspicious at all. Go to St Charles Place. The answer is there.

/Don't take chances.

Probably over a treasure map.

Let's just get this out of the way:

Electric Avenue

Enjoy your 80's moment of goodness. RickRoll free.

A purple banana in a cape.

"They did locate a male who had suffered what appears to to be a gunshot wound. He was treated on-scene by ambulance and fire department personnel, and unfortunately, expired."

Why can't cops speak English? He expired? Does that mean his meter ran out? Who says expired? He farking died.

Speak plain English or STFU.

We all thought of the 80's song first, who else thought of the electronics department at Monkey Ward?

"Oh, NO!"
^ That's how it's done!

The body was discovered out in the playground on the dark side of town...

Not surprised he was a Killer on the Rampage.

Eddy Grant is the shiatznit. Why can't record companys put out more music like EG instead the stoopid hip hop and copycat pop crap?

//back to your regularly scheduled flamewar...

Here's a bit of obscure trivia that most of you probably don't know: MTV used to be a music video channel.

/It stood for "Music Television."

I am planning a trip to London in May, as I have tickets to see The Specials. They are playing in Brixton, which, I found out today is what Eddy was singing about in Electric Avenue.

Yes, Nakito, now it stands for "Moron Television"

That song is still phenomenal. Loved the video too.

I have Electric Avenue and the Ring Bang Mix of Electronic Avenue on my iPod Nano.

The Electric Avenue in London is a narrow commercial street which was looted (I am guessing here) during the Brixton riots.

Here's a Wiki stub.

Here's a tourist site (map, hotels, things to do besides getting mugged, etc.):

I can't find it at the mo' but I've seen a nice picture of Electric Avenue in its heyday, back when it was named after the new American novelty import, electricity.

Whoopsie-doodle! (I've been waiting all day to slip that into a thread).

I just noticed I typed "Electronic" Avenue for "Electric" Avenue.

It hasn't been updated that much!

Electric Avenue is actually in Lambeth according to the tourist guide, but this is only of interest to real estate agents, which in the UK are called estate agents.

Yawn. And yawn some more.

Kwai Lo I am planning a trip to London in May, as I have tickets to see The Specials. They are playing in Brixton, which, I found out today is what Eddy was singing about in Electric Avenue.

Killer On the Rampage

FTW

Were Police On [his] Back?

Wait, the song wasn't about Rochester, NY?

Yesterday I was bored and made a "Electric Avenue" ringtone. Seriously. I normally despise mp3 ringtones and the associated douche-factor, but people were cracking up when they heard my phone ringing, today.

/remembers being a kid and watching that video, basking in that glorious age of dials and knobs, Defender, Huey Lewis, the space-aged cordless phone and what I can only assume was the ocean of cocaine and unprotected sex surrounding it all.
