Song Of the Day: February 16, 2005
Protex-A Place In Your Heart
Polydor Records 45, 1980
When we were discussing Irish power pop in the Donkees entry, Mickey kept pawing at my leg and asking "What about Protex though?" So here they are. After a single on Good Vibrations they made three more for Polydor. An album was recorded, but never released, though I think it's been bootlegged. This veers close to Bay City Rollers territory (a band that tends to split power pop lovers into warring factions), but we don't mind a bit.
Oh, by the way, it was pointed out to me by the helpful Steve Mitchell that the Donkees were not actually Irish, but were instead from Lancashire. So the whole premise of that entry was screwed. I apologize for the misinformation, and I'll try to do better. But the song is still great, right?
