Song Of the Day June 21, 2005


Gangway - My Girl and Me


Polydor Records (Holland) 45, 1988


The first few seconds of "My Girl and Me" suggest an a-Ha single, or something equally trivial, but the first time I played it, I found myself smitten after about a minute, a feeling that only grew stronger as the record neared it's conclusion. It's just a terrific song, although the lyrics may hit a little too close to home for some of you. I know nothing about Gangway, except that they have a considerable discography and are fairly popular in their native Holland. All the info you want is here. Thanks to Brian Kirk for recommending this one.

They're Danish, which is something entirely different from Dutch

Hugo,

Indeed it is, thanks, and I apologize to anyone I might have offended. I really don't know anythin about this band other than I like this song and apparently I need to pick up the LPs from this era.

Best,

Jon
