The 1985 Listening Post - Baltimora - Living in the Background

Baltimora - Living in the Background


#332/967
August 4 1985
Baltimora 
Living in the Background
Genre: Dance Pop
2.5 out of 5

Highlights:
Tarzan Boy

Hey, I know this!!! “Tarzan Boy” was everywhere for a while, wasn’t it??
Yes. In a Listerine commercial in the 90s!
And now, after that one hit wonder...I gotta listen to the rest of it. 
See the cover? How the clothes are all perfectly the right size and yet look Ill fitting? And the guy dancing looks like he’s never actually jumped in his life but just had to this one time?
That’s this record. Dance music by people who like to dance but are bad at dancing but really love it. 
That’s why “Woody Boogie” is actually fun. 
If Baltimora shows up again on this list, stop me before I listen.
