lips are in motion

i was going through some records i have tucked away in a closet and found the 45 for debbie harry’s “french kissin’,” which was also released as “french kissin’ in the usa.” i bought the record when it came out in 1986 because i’d heard the song on the radio and the drum sounds at the very beginning reminded me of the beastie boys’ “paul revere.” (i even made a very clumsy pause tape-like mix that included bits of both tracks - if that sucker turns up in further closet searchin’, i’ll mosdef post audio from it here).

i forgot how great this song is. i searched hype machine, and it looks like no one’s posted it before, which surprises me because (a) it’s from the ’80s, (b) it’s by debbie harry, (c) it’s got the word “french” in it.

debbie harry - “french kissin’” (aka “french kissin’ in the usa”)

    yeah, it’s strange to me that it’s not a staple in the ’80s mix set canon. thanks for checking in, a tart!
