Why does this song have such a strong emotional hold on me? I was 24 yrs old in the summer of 1982...life was good...living with my g/f, Jackie..had a good job. The melody of this song is so perfect, there's a bit of a droning background, that throbbing bassline, and the lyrics just wash over me, recalling the good times me and my buds had playing softball that year...smoking weed, barbecuing on weekends...Life is so strange.

I had to listen to a 10watt community-college station I whose signal I could barely acquire to hear music like this and what a breath of fresh-air *that* was!

Most talented new-wave band at that time ( bar none ). Terry Bozzio is a beast on drums, and Patrick O'Hearn is an awesome bass player.

We had their album and listened to it all the time. It was and still is great music. Loved the music and her voice. What a great delivery and it was fun to listen to. As young men back then, we had fun enjoyed the music, danced to it and even now, love that music, so good and so timeless.

It wasn't so alien to make me scratch my head. It was well done & the musicians were great. Ms. Bozzio carried it through! I wish you'd carried on, but that's the biz. All players were great. Wish you people were still doing it! As Lennon said, it's just another rock band. If you want to reminisce, you still have the old records. Glad I can still listen! It's fun stuff!! Best, J.P.

Such an underrated group, loved these guys. And like many of groups of that era, INXS, Depeche Mode, New Order, etc, they actually said something with their lyrics which was often overlooked because of the uptempo synth driven beat. Was a great time to be young.

Blown away! Terry was insane on his wild drum kit, Warren and Patrick are stellar musicians and of course Dale was out of this world and set the template for female singers after her, like Gaga. They actually played a small club here the first time they came! That would have been crazy kool to see!@@anibalbabilonia1867

Missing Persons is one of my all time favorite bands.Terry Bozzio was one amazing drummer and always had be captivated when I would watch them play. I had never heard of a girl named “Dale” before but she was a good match for that combination of musicians. “Mental Hopscotch”, “Words” and “Right now” were all fantastic songs and big hits for them. Those were such amazing times.

Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.

I can't take my eyes off of that woman!

Honestly,, I can't describe in words how much I love ❤ Dale ,,,,,it really brings tears to my eyes.

One of the greatest drummers in the world playing tastefully to the music. Terry Bozzio is amazing.

remember hearing this fall 82 ninth grade cutting edge so fun thanks Dale bozio.

Their set at the US festival was killer. They were very tight.

First time I heard this: 1981 while attending Western Oregon State College in Monmouth, Oregon on the radio KSKD 105.? FM in Salem, OR. Mark Bonnett's 5.0 liter Mustang with the tweeters on the dash. Those were the best days of my life, but I didn't know it at the time. Thanks for the memories: Squid and Vid the Ocean Brothers, Mark and Greg, Brent Lawrence, Tom the Weeble Davis and Julie Dieringer from Scotts Mills, OR I loved you more than anyone I've ever known. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Thank you God for letting me be a teenager when this came out!

Thank you for letting me be in my late 20s, single and making good money at the time. It was a perfect storm of fun down the Jersey shore. I miss the Casa Blanca, A's Inn, the Yankee Clipper and the Parker House. Those were the best days of my life, the early to mid-80s.

I'm 59. I have never heard of this band or this song. I am completely blown away!!!

Dale Bozio was definitely a pioneer and huge influence with her sound and look...extremely unique in that time period.

I was in my 20s through the 80s with crushes on so many female singers back then, and this performance makes me remember why

Dale Bozzio wasn't 30 years ahead of her time. She was exactly in her time.

Man does this song bring back some memories, I really really miss the 80's, probably too much, so hard to let it go, was such an amazing decade.

53 now graduated 1986 this was the best of times

Great memories listening to MP while heading out to Lake Havasu in the early 80s. Life was absolutely a Destination Unknown...

I grew up in the 80's and I consider myself a very lucky guy. I even had the big hair. Now I'm in my mid 50's. I am still listening to this. I'll be in a nursing home in my 90's and singing along to this song.

Here's a referral from my research, "America's #1 Rock and Roll Band" is: 'SKATING POLLY' Two sisters and their brother, originated in Oklahoma City 10 years ago, now operating out of Seattle / Tacoma.

@@vitabricksnailslime8273 Thanks for the commentary, and yes, it was I who dubbed them #1, and I do feel that way, but totally understand that it's not universal. Really glad you didn't regret checking them out. Speaking of Regret, please let me introduce you to "The Regrettes", they are also a female oriented pop-rock-punk band but with a little more "listen-a-bility" to them, they're from California, and my daughter and I caught up with them in Covington KY last year in a small venue and they delivered an awesome set. On KZread, I would recommend "Dress Up" and "I Dare You" from their 2019 How Do You Love album and also these songs from 2018 releases: "Poor Boy", "Hey Now", "Teenager in Love"(amped cover), and "Red Light".

@@randyulrich1903 Thanks for that. My internet provider has given me unlimited data for the month as their do good bit for the corona situation. I'm making good use of it on the music front. Don't regret the Regrettes either. Listened to their takes on the Hairspray theme (Hey Now) and Fox on the Run. These aren't nearly as current as your recommendations. I include them only because you seem to like thrash, and there'e a good chance you haven't heard them. The first is probably the bands stand out hit, and had fairly wide circulation. The second probably haven't been heard much outside Oz, a three piece band with tons of short punchy numbers. So many that it's really hard to pick just one. Just noticed that for some reason KZread doesn't seem to want to let me put the direct links in. Anyway, they were Never say never by Romeo Void, and either Buy me a pony, or Shazam, by Spiderbait.

She wasn't introducing anything new. Punks were doing that in the late 70s, and thanks to Zappa, she was in the presence of girls like the GTOs who inspired her fashion. She brought it to pop, but she was not ahead of anything. People doing it now is like any other style that was once outrageous and just got adapted by the mainstream.

Missing Persons still rocks. So ahead of their time.

Fantastic drummer. I love his cymbal work at the end.
