I started this journey almost a year ago trying to remember the first song that I loved. I wonder if my mother would agree with what I came up with? In the case of my son, although he may not remember it, the first song that he really reacted to was I’m Too Sexy. He not quite a year old. He had a playpen that was more to keep the dogs out than keep him in. Back then we didn’t have cable but we had a music channel. I don’t remember what it was called but the concept was a video jukebox. You’d call the number on the screen to select the music video you wanted to see and it would charge a quarter or something like that to your phone bill. Your video didn’t play right away, like a jukebox, it would get added to the queue and would play whenever it was up.
When there wasn’t anything on the main 3 1/2 channels, we’d put the jukebox channel on. Whenever I’m Too Sexy would come on, Zach would get up and dance. Well it was mostly just a bounce while hanging on to the rail of the playpen.
So I bought Right Said Fred’s Up. At first it was because he seemed to like that song so much. It was silly and the video even sillier but I found that the album really good. Again, I’m not going to pretend to be some kind of knowledgable music critic. I’m just saying that I like it. It has a lot of the same qualities of the kinds of music that I was listening to back in The Academy Days. So I bounce this album because of my baby boy. How’s that for influence?
