I said to my wife: “That is a really good song for an ad, they should release it as a real song”
She said: “(pause and incredulous look)…It is a real song…haven’t you heard that song before?”
Me: “No”
Wife: “You’ve never heard that song before?..you’ve never heard that song?..I can’t believe you’ve never heard that song?..you really have never heard that song before?!!”
Me: “No”
Wife:“You’re joking! You have never heard that song before?!! YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT SONG BEFORE!!!..I CAN"T BELIEVE YOU"VE NEVER HEARD THAT SONG!!!”
(this actually went on a whole lot longer).
Most people I’ve told this to have had the same reaction (maybe not the incredulous of my wife to the same extent). I admit: I HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT SONG BEFORE.
In my defense, I’ve never heard it on 80’s radio, or seen it on a MTV “Best of the Eighties” night, or seen it listed on a Time-Life “Remember the Eighties” 20 CD collection, or heard anyone hum it to themselves ever.
Anyone else willing to own up to the shame of any pop-cultural ignorance?
I never heard that song

Will look up, if it was in the charts back then…

But, well I kind of hated the eighties, even when it was the eighties
and consequently dressed as a hippie…
mo-i
Edit: “kitchen at the parties” was a No. 16 "hit in the U.K. and didn’t list in
other European charts. So, go - tell your wife she should stop living in the past…
Never heard of it either. Probably didn’t even chart in the US though.
Things that I know nothing about: 2 1/2 men. Never watched it. Castle & The Mentalist: I don’t think I’ve ever seen more commercials for TV shows that no one seems to watch.
There is a slew of songs that I don’t know or didn’t know. Like all those songs used in iPod commercials. As I said to my gf recently, “I listen to a lot of old music, don’t I?” She keeps telling me the 1970’s are over.
Having said that, my gf never saw Star Wars…weirdo.
