dEFROG ON 45 #42: SEX WAS SOMETHING I JUST HAD
As long as I’m fessing up my appreciation for 80s pop singers, I guess I should also bring up Samantha Fox.
Yes.
As you may have gathered, like a lot of guys my age I was a fan of Samantha before she got into music (if you know what I mean, and I think you do), and I admit liking her first couple of albums primarily because of the novelty value. Also I was living in West Germany at the time, so I was already listening to a lot of Europop. (Evidence: I still have Kim Wilde’s first five albums somewhere, and I even have the first two Sandra albums on cassette. I don't really listen to the latter anymore, but that’s not the point.)
So anyway, yes, I liked her at the time. And you can laugh, but by her second album, she was collaborating with heavy pop hitters like Stock Aitken & Waterman and Full Force. So, you know, it’s not like she was goofing off or anything.
Anyway, somehow I ended up with this song on 45 – I think I bought it second-hand for a radio show I was doing at the time (this was before CD players became standard-issue in radio stations – or at least college radio stations with next to no budget).
Temporary love’s so bad but it feels so good,
This is dF
