Their hits ...

1984 - New Girl Now
1985 - Burning in Love
1985 - Stay in the Light
1985 - Wave Babies
1986 - Feel it Again
1986 - What Does it Take
1987 - All Along You Knew
1987 - Lethal Weapon
1988 - Love Changes Everything
1988 - Lookin' Out For Number One
1989 - Still Lovin' You
1990 - Long Way
1991 - Say You Don't Know Me



My favourite is still Wave Babies.  Guitarist Derry Grehan wrote it while the band was staying at a motel in Trenton, Ontario.  Being that the song is about girls on a beach, they filmed the video for it at Sandbanks Beach in Picton Ontario, which is about a 40 minute drive from Trenton.  The opening scene of the video was shot at the Glenora Ferry, which is about a 20 minute drive from where I live.  Everytime I go on that ferry, I have to play Wave Babies, however, the last time I was there (3 weeks ago), I forgot to listen to it lol

When I was a kid and I'd go to Sandbanks in the mid 80s, I always used to hear that song being played, so much that I used to joke it was the official song of Sandbanks.  I guess in a way, it kind of is

My stand by New Girl Now.  Hillarious video.  The girl can't win.  First she hates Johnnie Dee, then she wants him back but he doesn't want her back.  :)

Hot summer night
Storm clouds in the air
My eyes are a little heavy
I'm feeling in the past tense, I'm hardly aware

I don't want you on the phone
Don't you play good girl with me
Why must I always say it again?

I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
And she's a lot like you

Tried to wash my face
But my head fell too low
I tried to bury myself
But my mind wouldn't stay at home

I don't care if you're sitting at home
Somebody has broken into me
Why must I always say it again?

I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
And she's a lot like you

I don't want you on the phone
Don't you play good girl with me
Why must I always say it again?

I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
And she's a lot like you

I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
I got a new girl now
And she's a lot like you, lot like you
Just like you

I love Derry's guitar solo in New Girl Now.  :)

I'm more surprised that of the US hits they had, the title song from Lethal Weapon was not one of them.  That was one of the biggest movies of that year

Some really good songs on the list.

I liked "Stay in the light" and "What does it take" very much, those are my 2 favorites. "Wave babies" was also good. When he sang "Waaaaaaaave babies" in the chorus..it's so "80s". Very cool.  8)

Love Changes Everything, New girl now, Feel it again, all good song. Good Canadian band, still gets lots of radio time on the FM radio station Q-107, from Toronto. Can you get Q-107 from where you live, Jason?

Not through a radio, but somewhere in the 300s on my TV channels, I can get Q107 and 98.1 CHFI

Does Q107 still do the Homegrown contest?  I have this one from 1987 on cassette ...

Just regular cable.  I can also get 104.5 CHUM FM.  I discovered these by accident one day
