The Flying Lizards can stand the test of time! I remember getting their long-awaited import long playing [LP; sounds funny doesn't it?] Top Ten and the 2 maxi-singles: Dizzy Miss Lizzie and Sex Machine. Remember those? I got really excited and that was back in 1984/85!
Their sound was so fresh and radical at the time and they were, and are still, one of my favorite bands. But they weren't a band really according to Mark, and I must agree... the Lizards were more of just an experimental project. When Money came out, a good song indeed and it was widely played but yet all I cared about was the B-side, the instrumental version aptly named Money B.
Back then I absolutely had to get the Top Ten compact disc when it first came out, because it included a bonus track in the end: Top Ten Again. I was beyond excited [and as most of you know, I get excited very easily! Everyday! heh!]!! But I couldn't play the damn thing cuz I didn't have a CD player 'til a year later!
So right, this post is all about Mr. Cunningham and me being excited! And Wilhelm would be excited too [I think], to find out that I have the Beatles' [Larry Williams really!] Dizzy Miss Lizzie playin' Currently listening!
Track listing: tutti frutti, dizzy miss lizzie, sex machine, what's new pussycat, suzanne, then he kissed me, whole lotta shaking goin' on, purple haze, great balls of fire, tears, top ten again
Have you heard Dizzy?
Put your little hand in mine...
