Red Flag made the top 10 Billboard charts in 1988 with their memorable song Russian Radio. The next year Red Flag's debut album, Naive Art, released by Enigma Records, earned them another top 10 single on the Billboard Dance chart with "If I Ever". MTV put Red Flag's video, Russian Radio, in rotation later that year. Touring extensively, Red Flag played with acts Devo, Thomas Dolby, and Book of Love. They appeared on the TV show American Bandstand where they performed Russian Radio.
Since then, Red Flag released 11 albums, 14 CD singles, two box sets and appeared on numerous compilations. Their music has been featured on MTV reality shows. The band has played concerts around the world in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Mexico, and South America.

Count to Three
Red Flag Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you're not there I swear, you said you'd be there
I don't understand these words that are echoing through
my mind
I'll just count to three and maybe you'll miss me
Maybe you'll kiss me
One, two, three
You walked into my life today, promise me love, you'll
stay
I'm here waiting nowhere to go
All I know is love, you'll show
Well I'm still here waiting, there's things I nedd to say
But I guess it doesn't really matter
Cause I'm not making sense, anyway
You don't understand these words, echoing through my
mind
I'll just count to three and maybe you'll miss me
Maybe you'll kiss me
One, two, three
The song Count to Three by Red Flag is about waiting for someone who promised to be there but hasn't shown up yet. The singer repeatedly counts to three hoping that the person they're waiting for might miss them or even kiss them. They express confusion about the situation as the promised love hasn't been shown yet. The singer is waiting but has nothing to do in the meantime, nowhere to go. They feel the urge to express themselves and to say things to the other person, but they doubt they can make sense in their current state of confusion.
The song can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the listener's personal experiences. Some may hear the song as a representation of the waiting that happens in a long-distance relationship, where promises are made but may not always be kept. Others may hear it as a representation of waiting for someone in a general sense, where you hope they will come but unsure if they will. The counting of three may represent the hope that something will happen on the third count, as many things in life happen in trios - for example, "Ready, Set, Go" or "Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil".

Por dicha pude encontrar ésta bella melodía que escuchaba desde la época del cole. Siempre creí que era Camouflage el autor. Aún es tiempo de recordar la mejor época de los 80's 90's. 👌🎹🎤
