I remember Skatetown!! I have such fond memories of that place.I went there alot in 1983,skating around to songs like "Jealousy" by the Mary Jane Girls,"Electricity" by Midnight Star,"Radio Activity" by Royalcash,etc.I miss those days!

I pass this place all the time,too,except now it's a supermarket mad

So were they a Bay Area group or something? Was this song big anywhere else?



I think it was mainly a Bay Area thing.I've spoken with folks who live on the East Coast who have [b]never heard this song[/b]!


Hell, we were throwin' down that jam down here in Mississippi so if the East Coast wasn't playing that one they need their ass beat because they were waaaay behind. lol

How many of you had their album? It was VERY Prince-inspired,containing only six tracks (like the Time albums):

I Need A Freak
If I Gave You A Party
You Are My Sexual Connection

K-I-S-S-I-N-G
We Didn't Say It
Exercise Your Ass Off



the last track is hilarious lol it's not quite what Jane Fonda had in mind,lol

I don't think I've heard any of their other tracks. And if I did, I probably thought it was Egyptian Lover falloff

We want Prince in his little red corvette
We want Prince with his dirty mind


lol seriously,those were some of the lyrics.It was an obvious tribute to Prince,but came across as kinda silly,lol.Released in 1985.I never heard anything from them again.

The rest of the album is very good.Very Prince-sounding.The best song is "If I Gave You A Party (Would You Çome)?",a cleverly written,nasty,synth-funk jam....reminiscent of Prince's 1981/82 material."K-I-S-S-I-N-G" was the second single,I believe.It's another nasty synth-funk jam.On this site,we often talk about the various Prince clones (Ready For The World are mentioned frequently) but imo,Sexual Harassment were the most convincing Prince clones,lol.
