Freur, "Doot Doot"

Where was I when these guys were on the radio? I like their sound. Oh, now I know - 1983 was a dark, dark time in my life. I don't remember much of anything from that year, or the year before. But as the saying goes, "It's always darkest before the dawn." And it was.

The singer seems to like the sound of his own voice, which annoys me. But I like the drum machine's lurching beat - initially, it's hard to tell where the downbeat is, because the drum machine deliberately skips it.



What's in a name?
Face on a stage
Where are you now?
Memory fades, you take a bow

Here in the dark
Watching the screen
Look at them fall
The final scene

And we go doot
Doot doot

Look at them fall
Flicker and fade
Gone are the screams
I put them to bed, now they are dreams

And we go doot
Doot doot

1983 for Marvin the Martian... I bet your green hair was permed, wasn't it? haha

Nope, but it was greasier. ;-) Getting older meant a clear complexion and clean, fluffy hair for me.
