Los Popularos - Working Girls

Puerco-Maria Records 45, 1981


Los Popularos, formerly the Young Canadians, were a Vancouver crew who were apparently quite the rabble-rousers back in the heady early days of punk mayhem. This particular 45, however, reminds me of any number of pop hits from the first half of the 80s that were considered purchase-worthy singles (think Huey Lewis, Tommy Tutone, stuff like that) by essentially forgettable artists. So not so edgy or anything, but I'm a sucker for the chorus.
