Who else like this song?

"Take or leave us
only please believe us
we ain`t ever gonna be respectable
Like us, hate us
But you'll never change us
We ain't ever gonna be respectable"

I like it enough to have it in my 80's music folder.

That, AND Showing Out, of which i even have a 12" version.

That song always makes me laugh my ass off!

to Mel and Kim!!!

Count me in!

...It's our occupation we're a dancing nation
We keep the pressure on every night
Explanations are complications
We don't need to know the where or why...

Just love it!

that song is silly and fun, yeah! used to love when I was a kid

...i think one of them died, am i correct?

You're right. Mel died of cancer...

I used to have this 12" along with "Showing Out" and "I'm The One Who Really Loves You" which had the same bassline as Janet's "When I Think Of You". All good songs.

I've got this on 7" vinyl somewhere. It was the very first single I obtained by myself. (I won't say 'bought', that was different).

Nestle Dairy Crunch had a promotion going where you had to collect seven wrappers, send them in and you could choose from any single in the UK Top 40. I got this.

I love that piano breakdown in the middle.

'F.L.M.' is a classic, too.

I remember seing the video many years ago, and i though it was so cool, the song, the girls` image and their moves, i wish i could see the video again...

I must've seen it but that would've been years ago... If it's as great as the song then it'll be

Hi there

I know you would love the video, hope it`ll appear on the youtube site eventually....
Change of subject: I`m so excited, cause i finally "bought" the "Natalie live" cd by Natalie Cole on ebay yesterday, now i can die happy

Icicle said:

Good for you!

I wonder what my ultimate 'When I Find That cd I'll die A Happy Man' one is??

It used to be the 'Diana' album, believe it or not. After it was deleted and before it was re-released on cd. I hunted high and low for years, went to Toronto, found it, came back and it was re-released about 2 months later.

I didn`t know it was out-of-print, i`m glad they released it again, especially the deluxe edition
I have one more cd i`m looking for, Ross` "Everything is everything", i`ve found her other out-of-print albums on ebay; Baby it`s me", "Live at Ceasar`s palace", "An evening with Diana Ross", "Diana! tv special", "Diana Ross (1976)" and "Surrender" (x2)

Icicle said:

I had 3 copies in the end. The one I found in Toronto (plus they had 'Swept Away' and I thought "I'll get it some other time". Never went back. ), a remastered version (which came out around 1999), then the deluxe edition (which I wasn't going to turn down, was i?).

So that b*tch has had me forking out loads over one album.

You have far more Diana albums than me, it seems.

onenitealone said:

Maybe so, but that also means you have a fatter wallet than me (they are way too expensive)
You can find "swept away" on ebay, i also check amazon marketplace for rare CDs.
