Terrible song, and the dance is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. The fact that they still perform this song (with the exact same "wing flapping" dance) is just embarassing.

Billy fucked them all off in the end and turned the place into a sports bar.

Bearing in mind that a Warner's rep wasn't in the audience that night to immediately sign the Revolution up, I think the band that would have been dropped would have been Appolonia 6. Sure they got a huge response the night they first performed but a lot of that was due to their visual representations of their breastal region. Billy, who was many things but was not tone deaf, had to realize that the girls had not talent in the singing department but would be great at the strip club he owned down the street. So he would have whisked them off and have his three bands intact for awhile, eventually firing the Modernaires for lack of creativity, i.e. not having any songs in their catalogue without the word "modernaire" in it. He replaced The Modernaires with a number of acts (Mazarati, The Family, etc.) before deciding to just have The Revolution (later the NPG) and the Time battle each other every night. One sad night, Billy was peeing and overheard TC Ellis rapping in a bathroom stall. The rap was so godawful that Billy began laughing uproariously, which caused him to go into cardiac arrest. Despite efforts by Monte Moir and George Clinton to save him, Billy passed on and the rest is history. The Time got all the clubs except for the Glam Slam (hard to explain how that happened except to say it had something to do with Robin Power, a jar of honey, and a jackhammer) and the Kid met an angel who became a feather.

Looks like Billy has dropped some weight. What's he on? Slim-Slow?

Turning 20

I don't have to have been around in 84 to think a song sucks.

Uhm, ah... I am rather fond of the Apollonia 6 album, myself.

I think Side B is the best, though. "I Love You (A Million Miles)" and "Some Kind Of Lover" are my favorites.

Love Susan... Love Brenda....ohhhhh, at least Apollonia is nice to look at

Seriously, Prince couldn't find a hot Latina type that looked hot and could sing?

They would have been better off giving Jill Jones a new stage name and making her the new replacement for Vanity
