I was just sitting here thinking "what is the most ridiculous poppy thing I can listen to right now?" and my brain immediately went to Shampoo. Thank goodness it was on spotify, because trying to recreate these sounds from just memory wouldn't have been the fun I was looking for.

I thought this was a thread for the movie Shampoo--was going to suggest "Wouldn't It Be Nice" or "Manic Depression."

I've not seen Shampoo, but I'll look up the soundtrack for later afternoon enjoyment.

bloody hell, how great is 'girl power'!?
not sure i have ever listened to the rest of the album though.
time to possibly rectify that.

"You Love It" and "We Play Dumb" were my faves. Really hoping I didn't sell my copies of Girl Power during one of my CD purges now.

the spotify page for Shampoo also includes this album, which is by a different Shampoo, "an Italian tribute/parody band from Naples, who enjoyed a short period of popularity in the early Eighties as spoofers of The Beatles" according to wiki

I read somewhere that Lawrence from Felt/Denim/Go Kart Mozart wrote some songs for Shampoo under a pseudonym, does anyone know which ones?

'Trouble' is the only one that I remember. Yes, it was catchy. No, I've never rated it.

Glimmer Globe and Me Hostage from the first album are two of their best.

we are shampoo may very well be the best album of the '90s.― jody heatherton (Jody Beth Rosen),
