Wheel Out the Freaks

Last week I finally scored Was (Not Was)'s classic full length on CD, which granted me digitized cuts that are prêt à blogger. Please do not let "Walk the Dinosaur" lead you astray. (Though it is rather catchy innit?) Ten years before "opening the door and getting on the floor," the brothers Was and company were churning out some pretty hot grooves that blew up dancefloors worldwide. They're kind of like Kid Creole with less coconut. Here's the proof you need:

Was Not Was-Wheel Me Out (long version)
Pure hotness; I never thought a saxophone would be so appealiing and appropriate. I still can't place where some of those creepy vocal samples come from, if you know, please educate me. If I were as big as a movies nerd as I am a music nerd, I'd need to have an Airport card implanted in my brain or an Ethernet cable going into my ear cannal to accomodate the volume of Internet I'd need to have to get my fix and carry out daily activities.

Was Not Was-Out Come the Freaks (12" remix)
Halloween party jam? More like Halloween party anthem. Vincent Price not included.

Also big ups to Greg at Medium Rare for hooking us up with some great compilations full of rare gems for blog fodder. Cameron should have never brought me there, as I have a feeling a lot of cash is going to be dropped in this amazing establishment (or in my case, utopia), especially since I'm going to be moving in down the street in a few days. Self control will definitely be an order.
