1.
Sound: Pop/Rock with a Wulitzer electric
piano at the fore
Mood: At times lighthearted, at times angry
Important songs: The Logical Song, Goodbye
Stranger, Take the Long Way Home
Song You Must Hear: Breakfast In America
Quotes: “They’ll run for cover when they
discover everyone’s a nervous wreck now.”
“Don’t you look at my girlfriend—she’s the
only one I got.”
“You gave me Coca-Cola. You said it tasted good. And you watch the television and it tells you
that you should.”
Notes: Apart from it having some of the
strongest singles of the late 70’s/early 80’s, Breakfast also has some of the
cleverest lyrics. They make you feel
smart just because you can sing them. My best friend (who is now my wife) and I
would sing these songs standing in long lines at Disneyland, much to the
consternation of those around us. Happy
memories…
