This song was used in the '70s by the Philadelphia Health Department in a very effective and memorable public service announcement campaign about sexually transmitted diseases.

"She's got it" indeed.

Probably more appropriate than most people know, because the proper word for things related to Venus is "venereal." (As opposed to "Venusian," which is technically incorrect.)

Real Estate - Paper Cup & Younger than Yesterday - This USA group Real Estate - discovered them on you tube… they make great music. This is a live studio recording in the Netherlands … when mowing my lawn I play Real Estate and the Shins music on AirPods… brilliant noise reduction and good music

I like them a lot too - heard them on one of NPR's music shows. When I play them at cookouts I almost get a "who is THAT???" question.

My favorite cut:

"Falling Down" - Real Estate

 

[dwasifar]

"The Real World" - The Bangles




Here are the Bangles with a song from their debut EP in 1982, full of energy. The lineup is slightly different (Annette Zilinskas on bass) and Susanna Hoffs looks almost unrecognizable, but they definitely already had their sound.

"Nothing is Real but the Girl" - Blondie

He that’s great! And your favorite is ok. Mine is Talking Backwards - Real Estate - Talking Backwards - I like the lyrics…
We can talk for hours
When the line is still engaged
We're not getting any closer
You're to many miles away

And I might as well be talking backwards
Am I making any sense to you
And the only thing that really matters
Is the one thing I can't seem to do
