Song Of the Day: May 24, 2005
Fischer-Z-Marliese
Liberty Records 45, 1981
The UK's Fischer-Z (say "Fisher Zed") are often maligned as strident new-wave goofballs, and while it's true that an LP might provide an overdose, I've always enjoyed their singles. This one is a huge favorite, both commercial and creepy at the same time. The lyrics and lead vocal stand out; singer John Watts makes a perfectly believable stalker.
Fischer-Z singles have been known to change hands for as much as $3.99, while their albums may set you back a fiver. A solid career retrospective CD would be well worth having though.

Thank you-one of my favourite singles which I cannot listen to right now as I have no deck.I suppose it's really about stalking which gives it that spooky feel.
