    When I was in grade school in the 1970's they used play this at school dances. All the little kids loved it and sang along. Some teacher had a wicked sense of humour.

    I used to play a lot of U.K. Subs and Dead Kennedy’s and Misfits loudly in my bedroom when I was an angry kid. I remember my mother poked her head in my room and said “Now this I like, you should play this more often”. Ha ha. I even caught her singing the words ‘ooh ooh ooh ooh he gives me head’ later at dinner.

    I find it very strange that people remember this version so well and remember it being played at school dances and the likes, when it wasn't a hit and wasn't even the A side of the single. I was a punk, back then and bought just about everything that there was to buy and I didn't hear this version and hadn't even heard of Elton Motello, until it surfaced years later. I'm not casting aspersions, you understand, but...

    • @bruzote
      @bruzote 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I have no recollection of that. I do remember it from the early-to-mid 1980s. My sister recorded it off of college radio station WLIU (Garden City, Long Island, NY) onto cassette and mailed to me. I was in the USAF in Colorado. I never heard it anywhere except from my cassette player. I love that sax. However, the lyrics did not win me any favors, particularly given not just the era but where I was - the USAF Academy! I didn't know the song was already aging at that point. I thought it was new.
      Wait. After all these years, am I to learn that "sax" is a guitar? I don't see a sax in the video! Now I am really confused.

Though it reminds me of the even superior Jet Boy by the NY Dolls off their flawless debut, my desert Island disc. Dolls got a LOT of play in the clubs rightly so, still have an actual poster of theirs taken from a Hippodrome show! Owned that album on every format from LP,

    In 1979, I was in University, and the DJ would play this song in the University dance hall. It was quite popular, especially sing everyone thought the lyrics were “she gave me head”. Fast forward to the summer of 1980, and summer break, and I was at home, in my bedroom, and this song came on radio. The I heard the real lyrics, and 😂😂😂😂 LMAO. Fast forward to September 1980, and we’re all back at University. One of my old residence floor mates had a group of us over to his new digs. He was so proud that he’d found the record of the song. I pointed out that the lyrics were “HE gave me head”. Everyone insisted it was “SHE”. I said fine, play it. As it dawned on my buddies that it was, in fact, “HE”, the guy who had the record was not so proud anymore. 😂😂😂😂

    Can you tell what's on my mind
    She's with him it drives me wild
    I'd like to hit him on the head until he's dead
    The sight of blood is such a high
    Ooh, he gives me head
    We made it on a ballroom blitz
    I took his arm and kissed his lips
    He looked at me with such a smile, my face turned red
    We booked a room into the Ritz
    Ooh, he gives me head
    Jet boy jet girl
    Gonna take you round the world
    Jet boy, I'm gonna make 'em penetrate
    I'm gonna make you be a girl
    Ooh, jet boy jet girl
    I know I'm only just fifteen
    I like to kick, I like to scream
    And even if I have a kick or two in bed
    When I'm with him it's just a dream
    Ooh, he gives me head
    Jet boy jet girl
    Gonna take you round the world
    Jet boy, I'm gonna make 'em penetrate
    I'm gonna make you be a girl
    Ooh, jet boy jet girl
    The other day what a surprise
    I saw him with some other guys
    God, he was dressed up with a girl around his neck
    I could have cried with both my eyes
    Ooh, he gave me head
    And if and when I make it through
    Or if my brain is stuck on glue
    And when the world trusts you to forget all that
    I said I'll still remember you
    Ooh, you gave me head
    Jet boy jet girl
    Gonna take you round the world
    Jet boy, I'm gonna make 'em penetrate
    I'm gonna make you be a girl
    Ooh, jet boy jet girl

      OK the stooges were first along with a few other bands. But the term punk was first used in Paris and NY late 75 then London early 76 when malcolm visited the Paris underground music and fashion scene with Vivian. They come back opened sex and the rest is history. But the Paris scene made a big impression on them both Musically and fashion wise. In Paris it was based on the left bank. Home of artists. Prostitutes. Indie music and Drugs. Fist place the pistols played outside the UK was Paris. Of course with all fashions and trends it inspired people in different places. Like Newcastle. Glasgow. Manchester. They will have people who will say "I was a punk in 75 it was over by 77 when it went commercial and the bands signed contracts" NME front cover "the clash sell out and sign for EMI is punk over"
