Okay, confession time. The Australian band Wa Wa Nee was one of my favorites growing up. I remember playing their self titled album over the intercom at my fast food job after hours. The sound in the store was crappy, but I liked the band so much I did it anyway.
The first single from that album in Australia was Stimulation. It didn't get far here in America even though it was released after the moderately popular Sugar Free (a song you'll be hearing about later). But it was their most popular song in their home country, reaching #2 in 1986. It only reached #86 here in the states.
It's a solid middle of the road pop song. It has a good back beat, and a good base line. I doesn't have a strong synth presence, and that helps the song along.
Selection B10 is Headlines. I never bought the 45" as a kid, just the album, so I had never heard this song before today. It's not bad. Like the other songs from the album, I bet I could listen to it a lot.
