Swing Out Sister

Kajagoogoo, no, I was actually thinking of Level 42.

I also would've accepted Swing Out Sister, so.

[laughs] Okay.

I know, Trent, you, you listen to music all the time.

Maybe not...

Man, I might be in the minority here, but Swing Out Sister, Breakout.

Yeah.

That's, that's more you, I think.

I mean, there's been some great highlights.

The Swing Out Sister show, Gang of Four.

There's just been some incredible things.

But what I like a lot about the show is the people who I don't know.

And it'll come as no surprise that Simon Topping and Donald Johnson of ACR were involved along the way between production and percussion.

Johnny Marr, Vinnie Riley of the Rutty column, as well as Andy Connell, again of a certain ratio, and Swing Out Sister, names you'll all be familiar with here on Waxworks.

They helped them create a full-length album called Pigs and Battleships in 1985.

It was their only album, so as well as their six singles, that was their body of work, and they broke up in 1986.

And, uh, if you would want to hear what happens to a prison dog lady, I, I don't know why you wouldn't run.

Swing Out Sister.

[outro music] There we go.

I will.

Very popular, hit number one on the iTunes chart an awful lot, so you gotta give the dude his props.

Corin Drewery was born in 1959, vocalist and lyricist for the British pop group Swing Out Sister, known for their hit Breakout.

The iconic one, Mr. Leonard Cohen, was born in 1934, Canadian poet, novelist, and of course, singer-songwriter, had the masterpiece Hallelujah.

That would be him before Jeff Buckley did it.

He was a three-time Academy Award winning actor who also had a big career as a spoken word country music recording artist, had a top five hit with his 1962 song, Old Rivers.

Oz Bach passed away in 1998 at the age of 59 from cancer.

He was the original bass player, backup vocalist, and original member of the 1960s folk pop group Spanky and Our Gang.

Alice Ghostly passed away in 2007 at the age of 81 from cancer.

And now, oh, I thoroughly enjoyed that Johnny Hates Jazz track.

It gets even better because it's a chance to listen to the lovely Corin Drury and Swing Out Sister, the song from 1987, taking me back to my southern sound days, fooled by a smile.

Words

once said with Bye.

Pulled by a smile.

You'll regret, won't forget what you've left behind.

I haven't played any Swing Out Sister for a while, so I think I deserve that one.

Fall By Smile and Corin Drury still making music today and releasing songs on YouTube, I notice.
