I know that song--it's my ring tone for Tesla, not that they ever call me. ;-) I think I also used it for someone from TMC.
Ha, I just heard this recently as well and snapped a picture and texted it to a TMC pal. (Station was "Tenderness" by General Public). They recently toured the USA! (I passed, I saw them in 1981) Their first 3 albums are essential! Their first single is called "Electricity" as well. ---- "Tesla Girls" was in their poppy phase
I know the OMD song.. but not sure I'd ever met someone who would start a slacker station with 'johnny hates jazz'. At least in the US, they were a one almost-hit wonder.
Same here, but I was trying to think of genres to try, and recalled that I liked their sound back in the day and wondered what kind of a station Slacker would create from it.
Why do I suddenly have the urge to dig out my Walkman and backpack (adorned with the requisite PIL button) & go for a stroll across my old college campus?
Here you go. You get the song AND the girls in this one. ETA: Oh... OOPS! Boobies!!! Had to remove it. Sorry... ETA2: Okay. Here's a more tame version.
