Or the Nails ("88 Lines About 44 Women" ring a bell for anyone?)
Love the song, but I never saw them.
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Oooh, I love that song. But I haven't heard it in ages.
I have it and enjoy it. It seems to pop up on every other New Wave compilation out there.
And on Kazaa as having been done by They Might Be Giants. Which irritates me greatly.

Substitute "Istanbul" for "88 lines" and you are me.
I'll stick with the original 4 Lads' version of "Istanbul," thanks. Fun '50s novelty.

But they did do it. Just not first. Which I actually didn't know until recently.
You have, like, zero respect for me now.
I mean, still.
Do NOT be dissing the two Johns. Any of you. I will hunt you down like the dogs you are and make you listen to Whitesnake albums until your ears bleed.
I was gonna say! TMBG can do no wrong by me. I love their version of "Istanbul."
I have all their albums. Anyone so much as thinks a negative thought about TMBG, s/he gets it. a man came up to me and said "I'd like to change your mind/by hitting it with a rock," he said, "though I am not unkind"
