Got a reminder the other day that there is a difference between the things you know and the things you think you know. See I had this vague memory of a kinda wacky new wave era song called "Wild Moose Party." Something I remembered hearing on the radio way back when. And I remembered it as being by the Swinging Madisons. I think I might have looked for it without luck back in the wild outlaw days of Napster. For reasons too convoluted to be interesting or worth detailing here, I was thinking about this again the other night and searching the internets again I found that, yes, there was a song called "Wild Moose Party." But it was actually by the Cosmopolitans. Who, bizzarely enough, played a reunion gig at the Cradle back at the start of August.
And, even tho they have no connection except in my brain, there was also a Swinging Madisons, an early entry into the faux lounge scene, led by Kristian Hoffman (Klaus Nomi, Contortions).
this probably just goes to show something, but i sure don't know what
