Ah, Slade! Hard rock meets English folk meets 15 pints before going into the studio...

Nowhere moreso than their power chords plus fiddles plus drum machine early 80s comeback single Run Runaway
Everybody sing along now,
"I love black and white Dreamy black and white You love black and white, run runaway SEE CHAMELEON LYING THERE IN THE SUN All things to everyone, run runaway"
If you're in the swing Money ain't ev'rything If you're in the swing Run Runaway. See chameleon lying there in the sun All things to everyone, run runaway
Great Big Sea does a great cover of that.

And the album that Run Runaway is on, Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply (a double entendre worthy of AC/DC in their prime), is one of my favorite 80s rock albums.

Well, this really belongs on another thread, but...
All these years, I thought that line was,
"SeekAmelia, lying there in the sun..." etc.
I figured Amelia was Slade's, uh, Band-Aid girl or something.
(sigh)
And they said that the internet couldn't be an edjamacational tool. Thanks, SSSS !

I've been in decline all week because I can't locate the T-Bone Burnett Cold-War-Noir-with-a-perm video aka "The Murder Weapon" from Proof Through The Night.
Life just seems so meaningless without it, somehow...

O, Stealth Stealth, wherefore art thou, Stealth!
Quick, somebody post on this thread in praise of grunge. That'll bring her out, for sure.
