I had no idea when I first played Super Mario Bros. at Richard Nettles house, almost forty years ago, that this little theme song would still be bouncing around my head.
The theme song to N.A.R.C. is a close second.

It’s the sax hook of this song that gets stuck in my head. Other than that, I think this is a good song, because WHAM! was fun, damn it!
Because in the 80’s, there were a ton of sexy saxophones out there.

Remember this guy?

And sexy Rob Lowe with his sax; St. Elmo’s Fire style!
And before anyone tells me, yes, I know why they don’t sample like they used to.
Anyway, I used The Sounds of Science as an example for my kid to explain and understand what sampling used to be like, being that she knows both of The Beatles songs used in it.
But what gets wedged and stuck in my head is the Pato Banton sample saying “I do not sniff the coke, I only smoke the sinsemilla.” Yeah, that line plays over and over and over…
