NOT ME THESE DAYS.

However, I always have time for freakalogical romance.

SUPERSIZE THAT MOTHERFUCKA

I have time for a lot more than romance...

C'mon, what's the word, baby?

whats romance?

― donna (donna), Monday, 30 September 2002 19:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Ned, what do you mean?

― Rockist Scientist, Monday, 30 September 2002 19:25 (twenty-three years ago)

I refer you to 'Larry Blackmon's answer (I knew he would be the one to get that ;-) ). I just recently reheard "Word Up" and couldn't get the line out of my head, although if we want to make it a serious topic, let's go for it.

_Word Up!_ is one of the 80s most underrated albums.

DISCUSS.

man, stop trying to reverse my intense unhappiness with talk of cameo!!

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 30 September 2002 19:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Jess, just submit to the hivemind and the funk. "Word Up" is one of my most favorite songs to the 1980s, and Dan and Ned gain even greater stature in my opinion for their memory of Cameo.

no way. maybe later.

― Maria (Maria), Monday, 30 September 2002 19:54 (twenty-three years ago)

someone was wearing a cameo bowler tie the other night. or so i was told - i didn't see it myself.

There is a new comp being advertised on late night television that seems to have "Word Up" as basically its core, its soul, its defining impulse: they say it features some New Edition, some Ready for the World, and even Oran "Orange" Juice's "The Rain," which stomps all over "Word Up" any day, but the whole time you sit there thinking "Word Up, man, there is no way Word Up is not all up in this compilation."

Oran "O.J." Juice: discuss.

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 30 September 2002 20:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Pardon me, that should be Oran "Juice" Jones.

(Also discuss: Rockwell.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 30 September 2002 20:07 (twenty-three years ago)

"The Rain" might edge out "Word Up!" (emphasis on "might"), but "Candy" is one of the top 50 songs of the 80s.

Rockwell? "Somebody's Watching Me"... your creditors! Hope you invested, son.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 30 September 2002 20:09 (twenty-three years ago)

you can get cameo cod pieces on e-bay*

*not really.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 30 September 2002 20:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Damn, I was halfway to e-bay then.
Where does Col. Abrahams fit in to this. Was he really a Colonel?

― Simeon (Simeon), Monday, 30 September 2002 20:51 (twenty-three years ago)

I was talking about Word Up w/Fred the one time, and we both were brainwashed by the Cherry Coke commercial. Because around the time Word Up was popular, Cameo was in the Cherry Coke commercial and changed the chorus to "Word Up is...Cherry Coke". Now I can never not think Cherry Coke when I hear it.

For some strange reason I prefer Alligator Woman...

― brg30 (brg30), Monday, 30 September 2002 23:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't have time for leather codpieces. heh.

No Romance without finance

― Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 1 October 2002 08:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Word Up is top one, I also like Single Guys Clap Your Hands. I like the little military flourishes. I wish I could listen to them right now this minute.

five years pass...

Looking in the archives, I noticed that Startrekman has started 5 different threads regarding the synth/drum sounds in "Word Up".
