Hi Needtoknow,

The track is "When Smokey Sings"(surprise, surprise!) The Group is ABC, the original album that the track was on was "Alphabet City" released in 1987, great album!

Not a great tune, but I don't mind singing it at the grocery store.

very Northern Soul-esque, this song.

I remember that song.

"Violence"? By Mott the Hoople?

This song is aweseome but it would be even more awesome if it actually said "violence" instead of "violins".

I've always been bothered by the fact that none of the lyrics are particularly Smokey-worthy. "The Lexicon of Love," on the other hand....

I've never forgiven this song for clearing my dancefloor in 1987 (bar the one person who requested it).

is this just a coincidence that this thread was started right after the "there doesn't seem to be an ABC thread" thread? (sorry, my search function can't seem to find that actually thread)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

"You broke my heart.. YOU BITCH YOU BITCH"

"When Smokey siiiiiings, I hear *A* FURRY THING!"

Misheard lyrics are awesome, but misheard MARTIN FRYE lyrics are the best!

This thread is such an obvious parody of a typical thread at ilm that I'm surprised no one is getting the joke...

― matt carlson, Monday, 26 September 2005 18:16 (twenty years ago)

and you know we're not getting it how again?
