    Frightening Disco? Patti's "Eyes In The Back Of My Head

    :o Such an oddball tune, but still rather cool....more like some of the freaky ass stuf Labelle would do than her slicker disco numbers from later on (I am thinking MISMWOL). Any other fans of this tune? Was it a hit in clubs as I saw it on some Studi 54 LP comp from back in the day...

    "whatchu got? eyes! eyes in the back of my head"

    Mmm, I remember that quirky little tune. I didn't like it or dislike it. :lol:
    The song just seemed strange and it would be something I would only wanna hear on rare occassions.
    Wasn't this a very early '80s song?

    "Eyes..." was closely geared as the follow-up to "Dans Wit Me". <---(my total favorite Patti!). And it was, actually, a bigger hit. But I always felt they pushed the wacky element, a bit too much. And the song's credibility suffered for it. It gave it a 'novelty record' sound.

    Whereas, in "Dans Wit Me", Patti just takes you to church.
    "MUSIC IS AN EMOTION, SEARCHING FOR IT'S VOICE"

    Had never heard of this song by Patti before now. Had a listen, and sorry, but not one of her best.

    I'm a big fan of Eyes, which was an underground club hit here, but agree with Stephen: Dans Wit Me was killer !
