YouTube Urgh, part deux and That Petrol Emotion
----------
The other half and I are trying to come up with wedding music. I never realized until now--or maybe I did realize it but it's been accentuated recently--how much depressing music I listen to. Any suggestions for happy, lubby-dubby music that doesn't suck? We're also trying to pander to the masses in a way. Most of the people who will be there have "normal" taste in music, so we do want to play some stuff to appeal to them.

Since the 999 Urgh! clip was taken off YT (:(), here is the video:
999, "Homicide"
The Au Pairs, "Come Again"
One of the most underrated bands from the 1980s, The Au Pairs, led by the militant Lesley Woods, released two albums before splitting way too soon. I discovered them though Urgh! and was frustrated to find their music hard to find. Circa 1993, Playing with a Different Sex was re-released by RPM. It didn't disappoint.
Note: This video has a warning ahead of it. Nothing objectionable in the video, but the song is about faking orgasms.
Oingo Boingo, "Ain't This the Life?"
Pre-soundtrack go-to-guy Danny Elfman fronts his SoCal band. Crowd goes wild.
Echo and the Bunnymen, "The Puppet"
E&theB were in Charlotte last week. Because of our currently busy lives, the other half and I didn't go. I'll solace myself with this clip. I like the brief London punk girl montage at the beginning.
Athletico Spizz 80, "Where's Captain Kirk?"
One of the odder Urgh! moments, the singer of even odder-named Athletico Spizz 80 (one of their many monikers actually) sings about Star Trek and sprays foam stuff on the everyone.

Here's a bonus video:
That Petrol Emotion's "Keen"
"Big Decision" was on my 80s list. That video isn't on Urgh! (yet?), but this rarity is. This one's never been released on CD (yet?)...Great song!
