Seona Dancing and Ricky Gervais

Mood: Energized.

It is Friday, let us start the weekend right and do a quick flashback. Do you remember Friday Magic Madness on 89.9 DWTM FM  back in the late 80s? Well, it is now called Friday Madness and they still play older tunes from the 80s. Yay!

Well, one of my favorite 80's song is 'More to Lose' by Seona Dancing. The song was by a British pop duo led by Ricky Gervais, 'The Office' creator and actor, on vocals. They released the song in 1983 and it became a local hit in Manila until 1987 and I believe, the rest of the 80's. I can still remember during freshman year in college, my buddy Lis and I spent one lunchtime just listening to the song over and over again to transcribe the lyrics. I guess we did not have extra money to buy a Jingle songhits.

Gotta love Mandaluyong Boy's New Wave uploads. 

Looking back, we both felt that this was so emo to say the least. Back in college when the whole world is out there ready for you. You feel like an adult ready to take it all in. Full of dreams and idealistic. Then real life happens. lol

"And now we're moving to new beginnings 

But as we move we looked once behind 

To see what we might find out 

Lost loves and old thoughts of our nights of winnings 

That lunge, tear and grasp At lost wanting minds"

In this audio clip, Ricky Gervais, in a radio interview with Opie and Jim Norton, Sirius XM from last year. acknowledged that Seona Dancing had a hit in the Philippines. Ha! Around 0:26.

Let this post also bring you back to your youthful days listening to WXB 102.7FM. Possibly listening with your friends inside your borrowed car in the parking lot of Greenhills Shopping Center and yeah munching on some French Fries dipped in Hot Fudge Sundae from McDonalds just around the corner. Intense, flashback huh? Happy Weekend!
