Chugga chugga.

Great first single only adds to the credibility of 99 Records as a vehicle and Ed B as a visionary. Snakey white boy punk-funk that doesn't try to be black, but has a good time getting sweaty.

I saw them in a little gallery in Seattle around 1980 and they were the real deal. They were fun and funky, and all cool NYC and standoffish at the same time. Laura Kennedy was hot, Pat Place was cool, and Dee Pop laid down the jerky new-wave funk beat.

I still have the 99 single and I rate "You Taste Like The Tropics" right up there with "Contort Yourself" as an example of what this scene was all about.
