AndrewRemington Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 I love the Go-Go’s and wanted to learn their song “Our Lips are Sealed” on bass. I just learned the song and recorded this bass cover within 24 hours... so it’s a little shaky but I think I did a pretty good job. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Vigilante Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 I noticed there's a documentary out (Showtime, i think) about the Go-Gos. I was considering watching it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have Amazon Prime and Netflix... You can get Showtime with Prime, but I hate to spend extra money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pahonu Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 It came out a few months ago and I watched it. It was well done and I recommend it. I saw them at the Greek in the summer of 84. It was a Friday night show and they were in town and had played on Johnny Carson a few nights earlier. I remember because one of my friends recorded it on their new VCR. My family didn’t have one yet. I went with a girl from school and her older sister and boyfriend. They broke up not long after, if I remember correctly... the band, not the couple! Have you heard the demo recording of Our Lips are Sealed that was really slow? VH-1 Behind the Music played it in their Go-Go’s episode many years ago. Very different! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Vigilante Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 I remember hearing somewhere that there was another meaning to that song. Something umm..slightly inappropriate . It may have been on Behind the Music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something umm..slightly inappropriate . It may have been on Behind the Music. You could be right. I remember it was about a relationship, but I don’t remember if it was a breakup song or something else. It was by Jane Wiedlin and I also remember seeing her on some reality show many years later and she was into some kinky stuff, like BDSM. I just found this: The Go-Go’s supported the Specials on the latter's 1980 'Seaside' tour of England. According to Jane Wiedlin, she and lead singer Terry Hall had a brief affair despite his having a girlfriend. After Wiedlin returned to the United States, Hall mailed her some lyrics, and this led to their co-writing the song. The Go-Go's version is significantly more upbeat than the original which Wiedlin describes as "great" but also "gloomier".

AndrewRemington Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Interesting stuff, @pahonuand @Mr. Vigilante! I do remember hearing a little snippet of the original demo on the “Behind the Music” special. It is on YouTube and watched it recently. They talk about the making of the song and play a bit of the demo at about 14:10. The story seems opposite here, though, where Terry Hall had first met Jane in L.A... Who knows, lol. Pahonu, that’s very interesting you bring up that you went to that concert at the Greek in 1984, because I also just saw that concert on YouTube! It was aired on Cinemax back then.

Thanks for the links! They played several nights there, like three or four shows. My parents only let me go because it was a Friday night! I hadn’t started high school yet. They played the night before and maybe one more after, I think. I wonder if the video you watched was the same date I was there?!?!? Edit: I just did a little research on a cool website I found called setlist fm. My memory was reasonably accurate for 35 years ago! Apparently they played August 8-10 at the Greek. The last night was the Friday I went. They played at Irvine Meadows (now gone ) the next night, Saturday. They also played on Carson like I remembered. It was the Monday before the shows. Here’s the link: https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/the-gogos-13d6b53d.html?page=28 I was hoping the credits of the video would have the date, but no luck. It looks just like I remember it but I can’t say if it was the Friday night I was there. Such high tech graphics on that video! I’m going to look up a bunch of other shows I went to over the years. Good memories man, thanks again! Edited February 16, 2021 by pahonu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocellis Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 It is embarrasing that I just recently discovered it, but this song was in Stone's War. I have watched this episode multiple times, but for some reason the song did not register to me. Until now. It is just so good. And the placement of the song in the episode itself with the rebels fighting and this song playing, is perfect. What I am not embarassed to say is that sometimes I just listen to the song on repeat with headphones via Spotify. My girlfriend runs a little recording studio and when I visit there, I just play this song on full volume on the fancy speakers and just enjoy myself. So there you have it: 'Mercy' by Steve Jones 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel it's in the perfect episode as well, really sets the tone (in regards to 'Stone's War', I think Ira Stone regained a measure of respect from Crockett, although I wish Stone lived and his real story was told)> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eillio Martin Imbasciati Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Ooh, a couple of 80s songs (half my mind is the 80s, the other half is sandbar & swampland) are "Here & Now" by Missing Persons (LOVE Dale Bozzio), "Voices" by The Jim Carroll Band ("Coming from the traffic, coming from the cube..."), and "Falling" by the Comsat Angels (there's that "Real Genius" again; Yean-yis!).
