Fun Boy Three's version of Our Lips are Sealed. Far superior to the Go-Go's version ... although there is a scandalous backstory for both bands on this song.

Can't find a good video for Kim Mitchell's Go for a Soda, but that was a great song!

I get a channel on DirecTV called GAC,not sure if everyone has it available but they still play country videos where CMT doesn't. I just hope it doesn't turn into another VH1 and go all TV show.

Apparently Jane Wiedlin and the lead singer for Fun Boy Three ... Terry Hall, I believe, were having an affair and wrote the song together about their affair ... Our Lips are Sealed ... get it??? I love how both bands came out with different versions too ... FBT's is better. It's a great song and it was a giant inside joke! Love it. The Go-Go's were quite the little tarts.

Here's my favorite Ramones song, not sure if that's obscure enough, but:


YouTube - BONZO GOES TO BITBURG (My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down)

Carbaret Voltaire:

YouTube - CABARET VOLTAIRE - SENSORIA

anyone who remembers this should be as ashamed as me:


YouTube - TOTAL COELO - I EAT CANNIBALS

This one too:

YouTube - Was (Not Was) - Walk The Dinosaur

Stranglers:

I just thought of a couple more that may not be that obscure-

John Parr-'Naughty Naughty'
The Fixx-'Stand or Fall' from Shuttered Room and also 'Saved by Zero'
