At the risk of releasing a giant ear worm, here’s the band that wrote and recorded ‘The Break-up Song.’ Don’t remember it?
How about if I add the rest of the song title. (‘They Don’t Write ‘Em) No?
How about this hint:
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
Yes, they don’t write ’em like that anymore.
It’s a decent song with little to say other than people are dancing to a song like you don’t hear much anymore. That may be profound. Or, like a lot of things, profundity is in the eye of the beholder, or in this case the ear of the listener.
Remember this was 1981. So we can look back and say the same thing about this song.
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah. They don’t write ’em like that any more.
Maybe we are thankful.
Some decent power pop rock on this album with the emphasis on ‘some.’ I don’t recall buying this but I must have obtained it pretty cheaply. Mostly forgotten fodder. Most of the songs are written or co-written by Kihn. But there’s a cover of “Sheila” by Tommy Roe, he of ‘Dizzy’ fame. “I’m so dizzy, my head is spinning.’
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah.
