The duo came together in the early '80s in New York when Rosen met Liben through a friend of his girlfriend. Soon after meeting they started spending time together in clubs listening to different types of dance music. In 1983 they released two singles on Elektra Records, AEIOU Sometimes Y and Bag Lady (I Wonder), with the former becoming a modern rock radio staple for a short while, and the latter a minor radio hit. Both had videos that received significant airplay on MTV. The video for "Bag Lady" features actress Imogene Coca in the title role. Their only LP, Feeling Cavalier, included both singles and was released in January 1984. The duo then went their separate ways.
Liben went on to work with comedian Judy Tenuta (as her music director) and Scritti Politti, while Rosen formed a studio group, before leaving music to become a screenwriter. Liben passed away in 1998 of a heart attack.

That's why a lot of us PLAY WITH AUSTRALIAN SLANG.
ONYA/Good on you.
Funny thing is IT WORKS.
If you bung on/pretend, the cultural differences fade, amongst mates.
There, it won't take you long to like us, emerge as a need, dork or twit.
There are plenty of cheat sheets on the internet.
You are welcome. CJ x

Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore
I was walking up Broadway, you know
And there's this incredible looking Swedish girl
Having a cappuccino across the street from Lincoln Center
I started talking to her, you know
And she said her name was Lola
Her English wasn't too good, you know
But we wound up spending about 5 hours together
Just hanging out, you know
So we go back to my place, we get high
And we get really into each other, man
It was love about to happen, I'm serious
And then all of a sudden she gets up and she says
She says, "Hey, I really gotta leave"
Damn

As a newly-minted teen, this song was something of an unusual "tripper" for me, with its hilarious pick up narrative, and bizarrely interpolated voice and keyboard music. Every time I heard it on the radio, or saw the video on MTV, I was entranced by its mixture of dark (almost electro-Gothic) ambience and dark comedic vibe; and that weirdly combinatorial vibe still comes across in spades...A rather uncelebrated small masterpiece of creativity from the early 80's, both quite different and right in line with more well known, similar musical "takes" a la early Depeche Mode, early Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark, Peter Godwin, etc etc...Great stuff!!
@kellyanderson6020
Fair enough, I dig it too. Delicious 80's eurotrash synthpop
@curiosaband
A classic, I'd say. Video has some hilarious moments. And the extended version with its Poltergeist samples ("Where are you, Mommy?!") genuinely freaked me out back in the day...
@jerseyforhawks
Great take, this song has aged very well.
@gemmaazz
YES! NICE reference to Peter Godwin! 😊
@conradpoos2859
@@gemmaazz This song is "Images of Heaven" smushed together with Yello's sense of humor.
