(On indefinite hiatus.)

Just another silly music blog! Here you'll find stuff anywhere from the 1970s to the late 1980s (mostly new wave, old school punk, and post-punk), although I will be posting anything I really like.  Dorky punks bands are my aesthetic.

Missing Persons - “Mental Hopscotch”

While not necessarily a commercial hit, this track from their eponymous debut EP was certainly a local smash, earning its place as a No. 1 record on KROQ-FM. Later re-released as a single in 1982 (along with the EP itself) to coincide with the release of their first LP, Spring Session M, they had this (rather neat) music video filmed.

I am a dull and simple lad Can not tell water from champagne And I have never met the queen And I wish I could have all that he has got I wish I could be like David Watts
