And every time I look up the video, it now has subtitles. (I find them distracting.)And they have inserted supposed unspoken thoughts of people in the video - - even more annoying to me. :)EDIT: Well, they don't want it posted. :) Here's a link to a youtube video :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rOiW_xY-kc&list=RD5rOiW_xY-kc&start_radio=1 less
Mexican Radio by Wall Of Voodoo is one of my favorite songs but I feel like I am missing something because I don't understand what the DJ is saying at the beginning of the song. Cheers!

It was already an oldie when I remember my parents blasting it on the record player as a .45 single. They had stacks and stacks of those things, they played all the old R&B favorites back then. Being only about four or five years old, I didn't know much about the song at all other than loving how it sounded, and I knew absolutely nothing about who sang it.

1)David Bowie's "Let's Dance" from the 2:50 to 2:55 marks -- when he sings " tremble like a FloWERRR!!"The way he stresses the "WER" syllable! HOT to me! Ha!2)Deniece Williams "Let's Hear It for the Boy" the literal, one second moment at 3:29 -- she jumps way up high with her voice! So effortlessly!! Beautiful to me! And I often think "Take THAT, Mariah Carey! Mariah, you try to show off too much. Deniece just lets it fly for one second, yes!"And I admit - - Carey has a great voice, I just much prefer how Williams uses her voice in this song. less
