CLASSIC CLASSIC CLASSIC, even after we in the UK had to suffer crappy french cafe style accordian versions soundtracking a bunch of Renault ads on TV during the early 90s

Let's just shoot Placebo instead, for their cover versions in general.

i swear i had this song somewhere lingering in the back of my head for about 20 years straight and had no idea it was Robert Palmer! was at a friend's place a few weeks back and it popped up on one of his mixes, giving me an immediate jolt of nostalgia unlike any i have experienced in a long time. have since dug out the album "Clues" and it's a fantastic listen.

Noted elsewhere but for reference:
It's album time for Norwegian DJ/disco producer Todd Terje. He'll release his new long-player, titled, yes, It's Album Time, on April 8 via his own Olsen Records. It features some amazing artwork from illustrator Bendik Kaltenborn, and it's got a guest spot from Bryan Ferry, covering Robert Palmer's "Johnny and Mary".

Feel like early '80s Robert Palmer probably had a lot of dates.

and he was never young, just "less old."

Clueswas the soundtrack for a road trip across half of the U.S. I took with in the late 80s one of my best friends. This song is the highlight for me. Absolute classic.

Just heard this song in the wild the other week, I think on a restaurant patio, I was very pleased.

Okay that one is obviously “when.”

On Spotify the lyrics thinking has moronic quotes around the second part of both those phrases, as if Johnny is referring to himself in the third person.

I’m not going to go to the matte on this, you and Spotify are no doubt right. And thanks for the tv spot.
