Space and Time continue 'em.
Once again I wake up to an obscure song in my head, the date was 1979, the band was named Off Broadway. They were (are)from Chicago. Their break-out album sold 3000,000 albums in the U.S.,but only one to me. The hit was "Drop me a Line", it had a hook, it had a beat it was fun. I woke up from my third alarm, not at all alarmed by the time, I had bathed and groomed before bedding down the eve afore. I lay there thinnking I might hit the snooze, I had time I had space. I had a song starting in my head. Drop me a line from your space and time... it said. I got up right then, I tried to remember the next line was it bring me a basket of loot? Did I remember this correctly? Computer? Bingo. Too bad I don't have an operational turntable I could just play it outside my head. Your turn.
In Denmark Huskerdoo means do you remember? In music it means try to forget (at least the band Huskerdo).Do you remember this song?
Drop me a line from your space in time
Bring me a basket of loot
I'm only trying to make you rhyme
You know, yes you know
We can just sit back and watch us grow
There's so much to be shown
Bring me a scene from your fever dream
Take me alone in the night
I'm only trying to make you right
You know, yes you know
We can just sit back and watch us grow
There's so much to be shown
Ooooh baby, all I'm needing to say
Let me drive all the way
You know, yes you know
We can just sit back and watch us grow
There's so much to be shown
(break-guitar solo time)
You know, yes you know
We can just sit back and watch us grow
We can go baby, well well well baby
Well well well baby
Just sit back and watch us
Just sit back and watch us
Just sit back, oh just sit back, oh
Just sit back, oh just sit back, oh yeah
They are still around now, they are still in Chicago I found out after a quick google search. The members are older than me. Yoikes!
