<br>Fred from Jupiter - Digette
[/quote]

Yeeppp, what's this???

What is the name of the song and the name of the band???

I say it because "Fred vom Jupiter" is the name of a great naïve synth-pop German song from Die Doraus und Die Marinas from 1981. It's a greta great song, with kiddy space effects and so...

There were actually New Wave songs written in the serious mode? It probably would be easier to compile a list of "serious" new wave songs than not so serious ones! Anyway, a couple of the more novelty songs that come to mind:

Blotto "I wanna be a lifeguard"
Anemic Boyfriends "Guys are not proud"
Boris Badenough "Hey Rocky"
Black Flag "TV Party"
Bollock Brothers "Horror Movies"
Cult Hero "I dig you"
Frl. Menke "Messegluck in Dusseldorf"
George Krantz "Din DA DA"
Doug & Bob McKenzie "Take off"
Hazie Fantazie "John Wayne is big leggy"
Human Sexual Response "Jackie Onasis"
Jona Louie "Kitchen at Parties"
Julie Brown "Homecomeing queens got a gun"
Ledernacken "Do the boogaloo"
Wazmo Nariz "Checking out the checkout girl"

TRIO Da da da
TAUCHEN-PROKOPETZ Arafat

[New Wave Dave]

Wake Up And Make Love With Me (Ian Dury & The Blockheads)
All You Ever Think About Is Sex (Sparks)
Stick To The Grind (King Cotton)
Barbarella (The Bongos)

Hey There,

"Cat Food", a fun campy song The Puppies did on their "Fun Is Right" EP. A friend of the band at the time was in a terrible car accident and in a coma for ten days. Dane Conover brought a cassette player into the hospital room and played "Cat Food". In a coma....she mouthed the words! Fortunately, she came out of the coma and is fine. Check out The Puppies live performance of "Cat Food" on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/chidfly

Pretty much the whole album "Top 10" by Flying Lizards, or Silicon Teens-Music for Parties.

Silly? Novelty? I beg to differ.

It's a good way to tell.
If it is not a novelty song,
it's not really new wave then
is it?

So you're saying that the whole genre of new wave is silly? A novelty? Blasphemy!
