Biography
In August 2006 four high school girls from Osaka, Japan started a band called SCANDAL. They started performing almost every weekend in Shiroten and later at clubs and musical venues, by doing so they became more and more recognised in all of Japan. In August 2007 Tower Records approached them, and a couple of months later they came to an agreement. In 2008 they released three singles in three consecutive months. After the release of their first mini-album, due to the low number of units Tower Records produced, SCANDAL signed a contract with Sony's daughter company Epic Records in September 2008.

Scandal is a rock band from the 1980s fronted by Patty Smyth. The band scored a hit in the US with the song “The Warrior”, which peaked at #7 in 1984. Other minor hits included “Goodbye to You” (1982 - #65 US), “Love’s Got A Line On You” (1983 - #59 US), and “Hands Tied” (1984 - #41 US).
Scandal was formed in New York City in 1981 by guitarist Zack Smith, who also wrote most of the band’s hits. The other initial members included: bassist Ivan Elias (1950-1995), guitarist Keith Mack, guitarist Jon Bon Jovi (briefly), keyboardist Benjy King, drummer Frankie LaRocka, and vocalist Patty Smyth. Thommy Price later replaced LaRocka on drums.
The band had much success early on but due to struggles within the group and their record company, it slowly dissolved—losing member after member. By the time “The Warrior” tour hit the road in 1984, all that remained of the original lineup were Smyth and Mack. Scandal broke up shortly after the tour ended in 1985. The group (minus Ivan Elias, who died of cancer in June 1995) reunited in 2004 for VH1’s Bands Reunited show and did a string of concerts on the United States East Coast culminating in a show at Irving Plaza in their home city (New York) on February 9, 2005. During the summer of 2006, the band (excluding Thommy Price) reunited again for VH1’s “We Are The 80’s” tour, playing a string of large - mainly outdoor - venues and earning critical acclaim. During the summer and fall of 2007, they toured again (this time without Zack Smith).
In July 2008, Billboard reported the upcoming release of new music by Patty Smyth and Scandal (featuring original members Keith Mack and Benjy King). At a performance in Dewey Beach, DE on August 3, 2008, Smyth indicated Scandal would be releasing a new five song EP in the near future. Scandal also performed one of their new songs, “Trust In Me”. Other new titles include “Make It Hard” and “End Of The Girl”. Patty Smyth & Scandal debuted their first single as a band (“Hard For You To Love Me”, also referred to as “Make It Hard”) in over 24 years on January 17, 2009 in Ridgefield, CT to a standing ovation. Patty Smyth stated the song will be available to purchase digitally in February 2009, with the new EP to follow shortly. However, the single has been delayed to late 2009 as the EP will expanded to a full length album according to Patty Smyth’s blog in May 2009.

Talk To Me
Scandal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
even when were alone you never talk to me
haven't I been good doing everything that I could
forever standing by getting no reply
now baby wont you talk to me
talk to me talk to me
I don't want to lose you don't want to lose you
so baby wont you talk to me
talk to me talk to me
(I don't want to lose you)
don't you know baby their trying to break us up
you seem to stay away why wont you talk to me
is this a game that you play when will you talk to me
you know it seems so cruel you playing me for a fool
here I'm standing in the hall your saying nothing at all
now baby wont you talk to me
talk to me talk to me
I don't want to lose you don't want to lose you
and I don't know why
so baby wont you talk to me
talk to me talk to me
(I don't want to lose you)
cant you see baby their gonna break us up
baby wont you talk to me
talk to me talk to me
I don't want to lose you don't want to lose you
and I don't know why
why wont you
talk to me talk to me talk to
I don't want to lose you don't want to lose you
baby talk to me
don't want to lose you
The lyrics to Scandal's song "Talk to Me" can be interpreted as a plea from the singer to her partner to communicate with her. She expresses frustration that despite being together, they never talk and she feels ignored. She questions why he won't talk to her and wonders if he's playing games with her. The singer also suggests that others are trying to break them up and implies that talking to her would help prevent this.
The theme of communication runs throughout the song, as the singer emphasizes the importance of talking things out in a relationship. She wants to connect with her partner, but feels shut out and powerless to change the situation. The repetition of the phrase "talk to me" underscores the urgency of her request and highlights the singer's vulnerability.
Overall, "Talk to Me" is a relatable song that speaks to the universal need for communication in relationships. It shows that even if two people are physically together, they can still be emotionally disconnected if they don't communicate effectively.
