Lame video maybe, but that's some classic 80's New Wave.

By the way, the lead singer for Men Without Hats appears to have turned into Lemmy's brother :eek:

love the Pretenders and love me some Chrissy.
I see no shame in this song. interesting that it showed up here as I have only about 20 pages left in her book Reckless. a pretty good read. been going back and listening to all the Pretenders stuff lately. they have a bunch of kick songs that never saw the radio waves. great band.

love this one. cracks me up @ 2:50 ...... not me baby I'm too precious **** OFF!

The Pretenders are a band that I could never get into. I understand why they were popular but they never clicked with me. I don't like her singing style.

For some reason whenever I think of The Pretenders I always confuse them with The Motels.

it is odd. she has a very slow vibrato that is at times....well....odd.
oddly I was never a big fan of their hits....I always dug songs on their albums that never got radio play.
another thing about them is they write many songs in odd timings. not your usual 3/4 4/4 stuff.

Part of it is that my first exposure to them was "Brass in Pocket" and I despise that song so much. Other stuff by them that I heard was too close to that so I never bothered to listen to anything else by them.

lol....(in bill clinton voice)....I feel your pain.
yeah I dont like that one either. in the book I'm reading at one point she told the powers that be that brass in pocket would be on their album over her dead body. ROFL then she says...as it rose to the top of the charts I realized maybe I don't know what the **** I'm doing.

chrissy's roots are punk. and it seems that most of their hits...you can't tell. but on the songs I dig you can. like the phone call or the wait.

Good song, I remember hearing it in that 1989 Fred Savage movie "The Wizard."

Time to break out the big guns.

Particularly shameful, considering what a great band they were before the 80s hit. But can't deny Cetera had pipes.

Listening to these two songs back to back, you can relive the world taking off it's bell bottoms and earth shoes, and putting on its parachute pants and Cosby sweaters collectively.
