SIDENOTE: my Dad wouldn't let me buy the single coz he thought the lyrics were RUDE. LOL

He probably just had the hots for Winona Ryder and didn't want to share her with you. (Or maybe he had the hots for Ethan Hawke :eek: )

You little motherfucker! I hadn't heard this song in almost 40 years. They used to play this song all the time on CHUM-FM in the early 70's.

You are the GOD of pseudo-highbrow 60's Eurotrash ballads!

I bet you have your OWN huge Sacha Distel vinyl collection under your mauve satin-sheeted waterbed!

My Dad was a Dr. and made it known to my sisters and I he had a "reputation" to maintain in the community. Hence, we were expected to toe the line. Of course, in his 50's he took off with a 24 year old, and thereby fucked his OWN reputation. I wonder if he ever saw the irony?

LOL. It's definitely Eurotrash... I guess the modern equivalent would be James Blunt "You're Beautiful"...

The thing with "Where do you go to my lovely" is that it's SO DAMNED ADDICTIVE. My Mom had the 45 and listened to it all the time. I played the video for my sister a few months ago and she just about DIED laughing. She too hadn't heard the song for almost 40 years.

As for my vinyl collection, unfortunately that's long gone. When my wife and I split up, she put my records in the garage and they were ruined by water damage. I still have my original STAR WARS sheets from the 70's however:eek:

I have an immense amount of respect for any guy in his 50's who takes off with a 24 year old. Just one question: did the nubile in question look like Winona Ryder or Ethan Hawke?

I have that Billy Squier album with The Stroke on it. There were at least two other moderate hits on it - Lonely is the Night and In the Dark. Plus he had the smash hit Emotions in Motion so I wouldn't even say borderline.

"Everybody Wants You" was his other ***big*** hit from this current 8.8% unemployment Rhode Island state native of the USA.

Only three (3) links on this list are "one hit wonders". The others had many hits. Especially Talk Talk, Dead or Alive and A Flock of Seagulls.

Sadly, I'd add Aqua to your list. While their success was (mercifully) short-lived, it definitely spanned more than one hit...
