For those of you who aren't familiar with new wave from the late 70's/early 80's, here is perhaps one of the better examples of how bizarre it got.

Suburban Lawns - Janitor

I suggest you watch the music video as well as listen to the song. It's primitive, but it's very interesting and nothing short of unique.

Well, now I guess I have to listen to music all day.

Also, I see your Janitor and raise you a dancing horse.

Those dancing horses, as well as their music video, are pleasant and happy. The chorus of "Janitor" actually has an interesting story behind it.

From Wikipedia:

The lyrics of "Janitor" were derived from a real-life conversation between Sue McLane and friend Brian Smith. According to Brian, the two were conversing in a loud room when they first met:

"She asked me what I did for a living. I said 'I'm a janitor,' and she thought I said 'Oh my genitals.' [Richard Whitney] overheard this and wrote the song."


And that voice. Have you ever heard such a voice? I can't help but laughing every time I hear her say "Who's your mother, who's your father?"
