I now recognise that song after listening briefly. What’s up with the over the top Southern drawl?
and 19 was a No. 1 hit in Holland as well

I remember this 19 very well. Heard in the radio relatively recently. Never heard the second one, WTF was that?
I'm going to piss @OGG off by claiming this as 'forgotten'
19 will only be remembered by people who grew up in the 80s, and even if they remember the song, how many people remember Paul Hardcastle?
btw SoM are recently making a comeback. Don’t tell OGG

I had this on vinyl back in the day. I probably bought it around 1984 at the local skate shop. JFA was out of Phoenix, AZ so they were "local"
Here is what wiki has for JFA's Bio.....
JFA was formed in April 1981, 19 days after the failed attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan by John Hinckley, Jr.[1] Hinckley, an obsessed fan of Jodie Foster and her portrayal of a teen prostitute in the 1976 Martin Scorsese film Taxi Driver, reportedly attempted to kill the President as a means of impressing the actress.[2] The band's name was thus a dark play on Hinckley's attempt at murdering Reagan — a hated figure in the early 1980s punk rock scene.

A couple of months ago I spent probably a good hour trying to track down a song I vaguely remembered being all over Houston radio (AM, FM, pop and country) when I was in high school. I thought it might be a fun song to learn and surprise people with at the next open mic. Alas... so many false leads, dead ends, and mismatches because the only thing I remembered was the line "Do I have to paint a picture" which isn't even the right line.
Anyway, it was this one. Way more "creepy stalker" than I recalled though so I'm not gonna waste my time learning it.

Everyone in the 80s skate scene knows JFA, Flux of Pink Indians, etc.
They were staples of Thrasher and Transworld

The only song in this thread so far that I am familiar with.
Anyone remember this post-Monkees, pre-MTV music video?

Old school lolz there, lads.
Remember when Wes tried to reinvent himself as a jazz guy? What was that stupid fucking band that he kept trying to inflict on us as the pinnacle of jazz? They were like a jazz equivalent of 'Blues Hammer' from Ghost World.
It was a name like the Rockinghams or some shit. Never heard them before or since.

The Rippingtons. Jazz peaked with extremely white 90s-era Weather Channel music. Genius orchestration. Russ Freeman? Greatest composer of the past century.

That's them! He talked about them like everyone should know who they were. Truly their name was writ on water.
