"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?

"’E zizze" (Tits) – Parody of "Day Tripper" (soref), Saturday, 18 July 2015 18:24 (eight years ago) link

had no idea of that .. would make total sense though.

ok, checked the sleevenotes of shampoo or nothing!
all songs are credited to the girls, except 'i know what boys like', which is credited to chris butler.

'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.

two years pass...

we are shampoo may very well be the best album of the '90s.

brave at the time.
however, I think JBR could be onto something.
