this incredible looking Swedish girl

Back in the day (tm), there was a really annoying/compelling piece that MTV seemed to have in terribly heavy rotation called "AEIOU Sometimes Y" by a pair called Ebn Ozn. Some of you might recall it.

The thing about it was some of the bits got stuck in your head. I still use the line "It's a wonder we communicate at all" with disturbing regularity. (Note the lyrics link in the above paragraph indicates that the line is "It's amazing we communicate at all" - I've been screwing it up for 20+ years which is kinda sad.)

I recently managed to retrieve an 80s compilation I'd purchased several years back for several of its tracks (Bow Wow Wow's "Do Ya Wanna Hold Me" and PiL's "This Is Not A Love Song", but not for Toni Basil's "Mickey". Shudder.) and just had to share.

I'm not sure how to embed YouTube videos in this medium, but you can dig a scratchy version of that by gone relic here. That braid is something else. (Some soul has also posted the Beavis and Butthead version, but it's not so cool.)

You can have your own sample copy of "AEIOU Sometimes Y" here (RS)
