Sly Fox - "Let's Go All The Way" – Classic or Dud?

anyone who says "dud" should be instantly banned

Living in New York... Looks like an apple core. Aaaaappple cooooooore

Concrete jungle.... GOT TO BE A MANOWAR

This is easily one of my favorite songs of all time.

I can never hear the phrase "all the way" without thinking of this song.

Oh shit, THAT'S who did that song! I couldn't remember the name of that band for the life of me.

And yeah, fucking classic.

(xxxpost) it's "asphalt jungle" - for years I couldn't work out what he was saying, because "asphalt" is not a commonly used word in the UK, so I thought it was "asshole jungle"...

argh that's right, I suck ;_;

I hope this thread hits 50 posts by 10:30.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Classic 80's wacky-video-on-practically-zero-budget (as they say on TV, this clip contains strobing effects...)

They had another tune called "Como Tu Te Llama?" which got lots of airplay on Miami freestyle stations.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

And what a video.

I taped this song with a cassette recorder on the first day we got MTV. I remember Martha Quinn saying "Gary 'Mudbone' Cooper, who used to sing in Bootsy's Rubber Band".

What, is there no video for A Fly Girl?

hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahhahahahhahahhahhahahahahhaaaa

ha

bless you. CLASSIC, you fools.

oh wait, everyone loves it. woo!

A: In Disneyland.
Q: Where are The Hollywood Squares living?

Sly Fox version - Classic

Insane Clown Posse version - dud

I would love it if the "na na, na na na" outro went on for six hours. Maybe I will build this in Audacity.

I listened just now and heard the "working in a factory" line and started thinking of the song as a Springsteen/Prince fusion. Probably this is not an original thought. But awesome song.

THE HOLLYWOOD SQUARES ARE LIVING IN DISNEY LAND

Can't believe I overlooked this thread, but this is among the most classickest of classic things ever to be regarded as classics.

Scott, I wanted to tell you I definitely underrated upthread that Sly Fox LP you asked about. Has some fun breakdance-beaty '80s r&b pop in the middle of Side One, and some fun bubblegummy '80s r&b ballad pop in the middle of Side Two, and the closer "Merry-Go-Round" briefly goes into some beer-hall nursery-rhyme jack-in-the-box carousel melody (uh, whatever kiddie song "Hail To The Busdriver" is a parody of) halfway through plus the kind of late-Beatles harmonies you'd hear on Enuf Z'Nuff or King's X albums a few years later (no big surprise seeing how "Let's Go All The Way" has a lot of "I Am The Walrus" in it.) So, definitely don't regret spending a $1 on it, and would regret it even less if my copy wasn't so warped that the side-openers are unplayable.

I was just about to post about I Am The Walrus, swear to god.

CARTOON CAPERS
HAPPEN IN REALITY

I don't think I ever knew they released a whole LP. I thought they were just a one-and-done single band.

I thought for years this couldn't be anyone but Prince, even when I knew all his hits.

The thinking man's "The Look."

haha yeah

oh man I haaaaaate it

They used to play this in my high school gym class during the 18-minute run, and even then I found it unsettling.

I think that in trying to draw a connection between the verses & the chorus I first located the deep, lasting despair that would come to define me as a human being, so in one sense I do gotta say thumbs up sly fox

this is a one-hit wonder from the 80s, if it made sense no one would have liked it

OMG how could I not have known this song until this very moment?

Because you're not an old fart like the rest of us?
This song pisses all over Lady Gaga from a mile up. This and Falco's 'Rock Me Amadeus' are all time.

(as a kid I didn't realise that he was singing in German, and kept listening to the song over and over again to try and figure out the words)

This was a hit in spring '86, right?

i.e. LGATW

Yes.
Ooooooh fuck there's an ICP cover version...

I think of hearing this and "Live is Life" by Opus on the radio at the same time. Pretty pan-European, those months.

I've loved this song forever, but somehow just watched the video for the first time last week. Didn't have MTV at the time. The video's great tho, all that Reagan-era military imagery. Cold War chic.

I only knew this from the video; never heard it on the radio. It was refreshingly political for its time, kind of a more lighthearted "Two Tribes"...or something.

still a fucking great song

(I've been in a phenomenally bad stressed out mood all afternoon, but just the thought of this song has cheered me up)

I heard this yesterday!

Holy shit that's Gary Mudbone Cooper? wow... I'll prob have BOOM BOOM ZINGY ZINGY stuck in my head for all time...so classic I guess.

I always heard it as "Gung Gung Gizzawinnit"

still a fucking great song

fly girl > this

fly girl > lets go all the way > most things

I'm just going to say (again) that 'Let's Go All The Way' is one of the best songs ever.

Thanks for saving me the trouble of reviving it.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE

AHHHHHHHHH

LET'S GO ALL THE WAY!

to me this thread is a bunch of people saying "of course tacks are delicious, who the fuck doesn't like eating tacks"

yay tacks!

I've thought for years that we're undertacksed.

1 for you 19 for me...

I'm glad someone said this because I first heard this song a few months back in a bar and I was convinced it was some long lost Roxette single.

I saw Sly Fox live at Disney World in 1986

uh but the hollywood squares are living in disneyland

NOPE. DISNEY WORLD.

Living in New York...
LOOKS LIKE AN APPLE CORE

I was just thinking about this song yesterday. Also, this thread was started 10 years ago.

This song scared me as a kid.
