back up to the 1980s again now....
ALTERED IMAGES "happy birthday" B/W "so we go whispering" 1981
i have this single in my collection also...
my dad often liked the 'off-beat', 'kooky','novelty' type songs and this follows that trend to a tee....
"A" side is off-beat anf slightly kooky i guess...Kate Gorgan's vocals are annoying after a while(say two minutes or so)
but i do like that track...
"B" side is a bit too out there for me...almost Bjork-esque vocally...
single peaked at a lowly #30 in Australia
here's the band's Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altered_Images
