Sorry shoulda mentioned...their second album was called "Get Us Out Of Here", the name for which was apparently a swipe at their record company for their terrible contract. Here was the track listing:

1. Look In The Back For Answers
2. Emeralds And Pearls
3. Kiss Me
4. A.O.K.O.
5. The Devil And Darkness
6. Piano Song
7. Happiness
8. Endless Groove
9. This Is The Way I'd Like To Live My Life
10. Bella Donna

I know this song was in Vanilla Sky, but what movie was it in, in the 80's? It was at the end ofsome movie like better off dead, sixteen candles, or pretty pink. i can't remember, but I KNOW it was in a movie in the 80's.

Doot Doot by Freur is a GREAT song, I actually have the 12" extended version on vinyl, it's an import as well wth a neat picture cover.

Thanks, Justin/DevoManiac101

It's a garbled phrase in English (backwards). I knew it, but I just can't remember it now.

If it hits me, I'll post again.

Well it hit me today. He says:[b] "O.K., this is the track with no vocals and timecode"[/b] Sorry it's not something more earth shattering.

Only took about 3 months to hit me.

You mean the blurry blue picture? Yes it's quite neat. Of course it's also a GREAT song, kinda melancholic, although the lyrics are totally inane [8D]

As a New Waver, the melodic strings ending of Doot Doot is the most amazing thing ever. I just wonder what non-New Wavers think when they hear that part.

To me, this is one of the best tunes to come out of the new wave scene of the early 80s. Glad that the band finally found well-deserved success as Underworld in the 90s electronica/techno scene.

OK, I'm going to be prepared to get flamed on this. Don't get me wrong I like "Doot Doot." I think its a good song, but I'm just mystified as to why so many people are so passionate about it. [?]

Tsk, tsk....[b]I[/b] won't flame ya....but it IS a great song. The way it opens, all mysterious, crickets warming up, then builds up into this incredible atmospheric aural soundscape. So unique and original, and captivating. Unlike any other song. There are a TON of great songs out there in the NW-scape, but this is truly a treasure. Mmmmmm....

add me to the list of good-song-but-nothing-sensatoinal'...I'm probably guilty of gross incompetence about this particular style but this kind of stuff always invokes Utravox's 'Vienna'or some mega lushly produced track with layered, good hooks...but outside the hooks I have almost no memory of this tune...were there lyrics beyond 'and we go doot doot doot doot dootdododo doot'?

In my opinion, this is a defining New Wave song, If I had to pick 10 songs to depict New Wave music, it would be one of them. And as I said on another thread, the video is primo as well.

make an interesting topic...not necessarily your 10 favorites but rather the 10 you feel best define the genre...I know I'd have to put a couple things in that list I don't care for but they belonged...have we done this yet?

edit: looks like philly had one going last year for ONE song...
