I swear there was thread on this, but I cannot find it.

I like this- fun. One of those tracks that I wouldn't mind if it was a bit longer.

There was a station called WLOL that did a remix show on Saturday nights. I believe it started the show in 1984. Nowadays, these remix weekend shows are so commonplace. However, back then, it was a new idea and refreshing. I recorded a remix version of Spanish Eddie from that show. It was so much better than the single version.
I never really understood lyrics of this song and totally misunderstood it for the longest time. I thought "Spanish Eddie" was a drink because of the line "mixing things with lemon gin". Well, the line really is "mixing Vicks with lemon gin". Yes, I was thinking Spanish Eddie was like Spanish Fly.
It made sense to a teen that didn't know much about drinking. I took one line wrong....and rest was history until I found the lyrics and really understood the song.

"Self Control" is my favorite Branigan song, but this one comes pretty close.

Good song. It reached number 37 on the Radio and Records charts. Billme, a few times in that era I was staying with relatives and remember the station WLOL.
