This is probably one of their bigger tunes from the early 80s.

Turn Me Loose.

And let me see.

Apparently.

Wow.

All right, well, we got a feeling for Turn Me Loose.

So it's been hard to wrap my head around it.

Loose, Turn Me Loose.

Turn Me Loose came out when I was maybe seven or eight years old.

The two women who sang back up on Turn Me Loose are Nancy Nash and Katie Kassoon.

Nancy is Canadian.

She's from, I think, out west.

The kid is hot tonight.

Turn me loose.

And then I don't need to tell you about how practically every song on Get Lucky was on the radio for maybe to the point where you're like, we could move on and go to something else.

But it was just such a wonderful, amazing run for for as long as it went.

Okay, so on that note, as I have lover boys turn me loose, I'll get back to lover boy, but it was Raimi the Minx.

That's right.

What did you, Rob Proust, think of the Raimi the Minx return after 12 long years?

Are you? Where? So I'm doing this gig.

Wait,

you're playing Turn Me Loose on Friday night? Yeah.

Where? How does that happen? What is happening? Well, so I'm doing a gig with Dave Bedini for the West End Phoenix, right? The 10th anniversary.

It's in- it's insane how, how the response we get live still.

I mean, who would've thought- 40 years later, we- we play Turn Me Loose and people go, "Oh!" How crazy.

So-

[laughs]

But, um, I remember we were at a party at Mike's place, at Mike... at Laurel's place, Mike's girlfriend, and sitting outside some beautiful summer day with a ghetto blaster over by the fence and playing all our demos.

And Denise, my wife, is there with us.

And, uh, Turn Me Loose comes on, and her ears perk up, and she goes, "That's the one."

Right.

Had two big hits off it.
