Nutty New Wave

Postby zill » Fri Mar 31, 2006 6:25 am

This may have been covered before but...

When my brother and I were kids we used to spin to death K-Tel's classic "Goofy Greats" record. My bro's 40th b-day is coming up and he's pretty bummed out about it. I thought I'd make him a CD of some wackier new wave numbers to cheer him up.

Any suggestions for songs I could include? Some of the obvious ones that come to mind are:

Killer Pussy - Teenage Enema Nurse in Bondage
Total Coelo - I Eat Cannibals
The B-52's - Rock Lobster
Frank Zappa - Valley Girl

Good call on the Revillos. They did lots of silly songs, like She's Fallen in Love with a Monster Man, Do the Mutilation, and Scuba Scuba.

Other silly songs:
Fabulous Poodles - Anna Rexia, Think Pink, and lots of others
Robyn Hitchcock - My Wife and My Dead Wife, Insect Mother, The Man with the Lightbulb Head, and lots of others
