Toni Basil - Word Of Mouth (1982)

Anybody who grew up in the 80's remembers the one hit wonder, Toni Basil, jumping around in a cheerleader outfit to Mickey on MTV. Thats the obvious reason to grab this record, but there's a secret hidden in the liner notes of this synth heavy New Wave album. It's that a third of the album was written by & played by those weirdos from Akron, Ohio, Devo. You've Got Problems (which is also called Pity You), Be Stiff & Space Girls are all special releases by those spuds. If you're a Devo fan, this is a cheap & easy way to get your hands on some overly-produced pop heavy versions of those songs, which is great after listing to the versions on Hardcore Devo 1 & 2.
