Monday not Metal

Ok, we admit it. We've always kind of liked The Bangles, and not just becuase...

[Don't say the pun, knobhead -Ed]

We wouldn't dream of it. 

Here's a very interesting song and video from 1988:

Good videos from back in the day were fun, this video is certainly that, especially the second verse with the band decked out in boy's clothes.

This video and song are also a great example of the late 80's retro-60's style - of which Woodstock's ignoble death this year reminds us.

This is a good song, we like the bridge with the power chords, and the backup vocals queuing in for a verse. In Your Room is highly relatable, of course.

Listen to the lyrics of In Your Room. They're not as hot as you think. We're not talking about a pair of hormonal college students here. This is more lie 16 year old puppy love - all be it looking to become more than that. We insist 'I wonder what you're gonna do to me' means emotionally not physically.

[Sure, if you prefer, you naïve middle aged man.-Ed]

Still, In Your Room is sweet.

Powerful, too. Remember that guys? Remember being in her room, the feel of femininity, the smell of the hair spray and perfume?

*While we had the hots for Susanna Hoffs (a Jewess!) we're kind of partial to the redhead.
