This is one of the best tracks ever. Transvision Vamp were terrific. I used to shop in Aldi. On one occasion I was looking through the CDs and came across The Best of... I decided that I liked that name and bought a copy. Wow!
I think it goes unsaid they took a lot of influence from Sigue Sigue Sputnik, who were also avowed T Rex stans (The had a single called 21st Century Boy' off the first album). There's a lot of SSS style in the opening track 'Trash City' for sure. Both bands took refs from hundreds of different sources but SSS did this mashup futuristic punk rock before a number of others.
LYRICS] Hey! Hey! AB-boy blue, he's the King of the Groove He got booster charged, Electra-Glide, high healed shoes And he moves, and he grooves, yeah he grooves Now Xuxu's a Queen, she's a Queen Bee babe She's all fired up and ready to rave And she knows, how to go, and she go go's She goes I'm so bored of this institution I need something to set me loose and Music's gonna be my revolution baby Revolution, revolution, I said you could be my revolution baby Well I seen you out honey, burnin' the streets A big black turbo, hey! that ain't no jeep That machine, what a dream, oh man it's so mean Say I've had enough of burnt out reunions I need something to set me loose and I want you to be my revolution baby Revolution, revolution, I say you could be my revolution baby My revolution, babe My revolution, babe oh yeah! Hey! You know we got an 'A' Bomb Star v the USSR Got us all wrapped up and ready to blow and you know When it blows, oh man it's really gonna blow Say I'm so tired of all this confusion Everyone talking like there's no solution When a change of heart could be the revolution baby Revolution, revolution, I say you could be my revolution baby Yeah yeah yeah Your mama's rich and your daddy's good looking I got the hunger so tell me what's cooking I got the will, if you got the thrill And I'll sell you my trash if you pay me cash Twenty empty houses and they put you on the waiting list Twenty years of day school and they put you on the night shift But you got yours and I got mine You know we're doing all right, yeah we're doing fine Lucy's in the Sky, she got tears in her eyes 'Cos we're all on the same side when the mushroom hits the sky Just open your heart babe and you can start the revolution Right now, revolution Just start the revolution Right now, come on Just start the revolution You know that you should be that revolution baby
She was a trail blazer 😝👍 She was mixing it up in male dominated business back in the day when lots of girls couldn't get a fair go in the music industry in England/ Europe ! But Wend certainly left her mark ! All the young 14 & 18 Year old Boy had crush on her ! & Some woman so they say ☺️💋👍

Found Pop Art album cassette at a consignment store about 25 years ago. Well to this day, it was the best dollar I ever spent!
So retro, so cool…….Wendy just brilliant

LYRICS]
Hey! Hey!
AB-boy blue, he's the King of the Groove
He got booster charged, Electra-Glide, high healed shoes
And he moves, and he grooves, yeah he grooves
Now Xuxu's a Queen, she's a Queen Bee babe
She's all fired up and ready to rave
And she knows, how to go, and she go go's
She goes I'm so bored of this institution
I need something to set me loose and
Music's gonna be my revolution baby
Revolution, revolution, I said you could be my revolution baby
Well I seen you out honey, burnin' the streets
A big black turbo, hey! that ain't no jeep
That machine, what a dream, oh man it's so mean
Say I've had enough of burnt out reunions
I need something to set me loose and
I want you to be my revolution baby
Revolution, revolution, I say you could be my revolution baby
My revolution, babe
My revolution, babe oh yeah!
Hey! You know we got an 'A' Bomb Star v the USSR
Got us all wrapped up and ready to blow and you know
When it blows, oh man it's really gonna blow
Say I'm so tired of all this confusion
Everyone talking like there's no solution
When a change of heart could be the revolution baby
Revolution, revolution, I say you could be my revolution baby
Yeah yeah yeah
Your mama's rich and your daddy's good looking
I got the hunger so tell me what's cooking
I got the will, if you got the thrill
And I'll sell you my trash if you pay me cash
Twenty empty houses and they put you on the waiting list
Twenty years of day school and they put you on the night shift
But you got yours and I got mine
You know we're doing all right, yeah we're doing fine
Lucy's in the Sky, she got tears in her eyes
'Cos we're all on the same side when the mushroom hits the sky
Just open your heart babe and you can start the revolution
Right now, revolution
Just start the revolution
Right now, come on
Just start the revolution
You know that you should be that revolution baby

Great song..Better than I want your love Or I don't care
Nice intro... :-) A little bit "20th century boy" from T. Rex... :-). Not bad...at all! :-)

Super band
Chanelling Marc Bolan!
Wendy and TV sooo much underrated! So very sexy and talented.
Yes, the pop critics in this country didn't like them. I fail to see why.
🎶 💃 👸 😘 ❤👍.
oh to be able to get my transvision vamp cds signed .
F
You only have to ask her.
She's kewl like that.
Well, She's kewl anyway !
My first love. My teenage wet dream. But really, Transvision Vamp was one of the best band on those times. Fuckin´ under estimated.
I dated a girl in 1989 and she a dead ringer for Wendy.
Wendy had it all like it or not
This should have done loads better than #30 on the UK chart :-(
#24 in Australia and #17 in Ireland.
How hot is Wendy?
