Album: Magnets

Appears On (Mixes): Dub Club: Creepy Crawly Creepy Crawly Creepy Creepy Crawly Crawly Creepy Creepy Crawly Crawly - Matt

Song Notes: Spiders are totally not insects, which is one of the reasons (the other being "Raymond") that this isn't the insect mix. So there you go. Anyway, this was one of the teaser singles for Magnets, along with "Jimmy Jones" (one version had this as the double-A side with that song), and it's a cool one. How cool? So cool that Duran Duran copped the riff for "Hungry Like The Wolf". It actually did have some success on the charts, but like many songs, it's not one that ended up staying popular, sadly, and you'll never ever ever hear it on the radio now. Which is too bad. At least you still get to hear "Turning Japanese". The Vapors truly were a great band, though, particularly if you dig XTC. - Rev. Syung Myung Me
