As a child I use to watch this movie over and over again, laughing my ass off each and every time. It's been 15 years probably since I've seen it last, but this came into my head and now I want to watch this movie again. Get inspired folks! All I can see is... vv Quote

Found this video as well which just raised my appreciation for the song. and they were on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert which is a series I have always enjoyed. Find it humorous by the comments how many people thought the singer was a woman and fell in love with her, only to realize it's a guy. Also, was surprised to see they are from El Paso, Texas. This isn't the typical type of music from El Paso, and I was almost positive they were European. 1 Quote
Eco Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 I was going to see this band with my Dad when they were coming to Atlanta, but COVID ruined that. This is the style of music I was raised on and this song gives me all types of feels. Quote

Also, I was one of those who thought the lead singer is a woman 1 Quote

I'm surprised how much touring they do in Europe compared to the States. I see their records are big in Belgium and other parts of Europe, but not to popular here. Quote

That was their studio debut, meanwhile I. was their first EP, I think. 1 Quote

I'm reading about the lead singer, and he has a strange and very public relationship with softcore porn. Quote

So while they are a great band, I'm sure glad he isn't my neighbor. 1 Quote

I'd also say that watching it while growing up is probably not the healthiest of activities for boys and girls going through puberty. Mom - "Johnny, your friends are at the door wanting to play basketball." Johnny - "Shh...I'm watching "Debbie Softly Does Dallas" Quote

Completely normal, if you ask me, as long as they don't go overboard with it... Although he does seem obsessed with porn and erotica, so maybe it has left its mark, after all Quote

To be frank, I hate guns and no issues with sex, however in the interview it sounds like he watched it with his Dad, which I find strange (and he doesn't say this outright, but alludes to it). The videos were certainly brought home by his Dad, so if he watched it alone? Kudos to him for gaining a normalcy to something...well, normal. If they wanted it as a family together, then I stand by my statement saying I'm glad their aren't my neighbors. Quote

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted July 23, 2020 Subscriber Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Sometimes I'll go back watch these guys do covers because imo Martin Miller does some very good guitar work and their drummer on some of the more funkier covers is very good like the one below with Paul Gilbert.
