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
About Me
- Marvin the Martian
- I am an alien here on this little planet. I've been sent to learn about life here, to observe people and things around me, and to become a better entity by applying the lessons that I learn here. I've chosen the name "Marvin the Martian" because he is familiar to many, and the Martian mindset isn't expected to be similar to a human's. Thank you for stopping by to read this little blog. I hope you'll come back.

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.
