my boss is asking if i know a song.
he says it starts with a girl laughing repeatedly for about 30 seconds, then begins with a piano figure and then vocals and then the actual arrangement... says it sounds like the cure or depeche mode. he thinks there might be a lyric that goes something like "go away girl"

help me score browning points please.

by the cure

This is NOT "The Lovecats".

There's no girl laughing at the beginning of "The Lovecats".

The first thing that came to mind was "Hungry Like the Wolf," but that's clearly not it either (no piano).

Actually the first thing that came to mind was "Sensoria" by Cabaret Voltaire but there's no piano.

he heard it on a fairly mainstream radio station that plays everything from skynrd to cyndi lauper by his description, so it could be anything that your midwestern cousin would listen to. i don't mean that in a snotty way.

i wish i didn't want browning points, but a rose by another name, etc...

there are no girls laughing at the beginnings of any cure songs that I remember

it's "brownie points"

― [that bastard] jaxon (jaxon), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

B-Movie's "Nowhere Girl"?

― doug watson (solid air), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:49 (twenty years ago)

haha I haven't thought about that song in years, that sounds like it fits the description

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

oh right.. well yeah, browning points is a disgusting concept then. i vastly prefer brownie points... anyone have a napkin i could wipe the egg off my face with ok thanks.

It might be Art Of Noise's "Beat Box (Diversion One)"?

― donut debonair (donut), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 17:58 (twenty years ago)

it was "nowhere girl", thank you ever so much, dr. watson.

How many browning points did you get? Can you sit?

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

7. no.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 18:46 (twenty years ago)

Did you stick the dismount?

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

my vote goes to "Caterpillar Girl" by The Cure, from their album The Top
