Looking for a girl with a washing machine..

I'm looking for a girl
with a washing machine
and a room that's cool and shady
I'm looking for a girl
with a shower and bath
come on, baby, don't look at me like that

I'm looking for a girl
with a washing machine
I ain't saying
I ain't saying I'm dirty
and I ain't saying I'm clean

oooh oooh
I'm looking for a girl
with a washing machine
and a room that's cool and shady

I'm looking for a girl
without plans for the night
I ain't saying I'm lonely
but I could use some company

I'm looking for a girl
with a washing machine
I ain't saying
I ain't saying I'm dirty
and I ain't saying I'm clean

oooh oooh

I bet you've got a washing machine
I bet you ain't got nothing at do
but I'm just a boy who came into town
I won't let you down

oooh oooh



What is it about this song?

I remember asking my friend Dave (a mine of eighties musical information) if he knew it, so we colud play it, as we were in a band together. He had never heard of it. However the band Big sleep and that song in particular were played in most clubs in the mid eighties here where I live and Greece in general.

A few years ago I was looking for it on the net, but could i find any info? No! And now suddenly there it is again...popped up out of the blue. Apparently it has even become a ringtone!

It is 1988 or 1989. The setting is the Rondo Bar in Corfu. It is sort of dark, and full of friendly faces. The place looks great, unlike what it looks like in the daylight.. "Looking for a girl with a washing machine" is playing loud, we are all drunk on youth, love, and healthy doses of alcohol. Friendships are being made that will last months, years, lifetimes. Some of us found the girl, and some of us lost her. Some of us never found her at all. And others just got the washing machine and waited for a girl without one...

It's Wednesday, early in the morning and I'm at work. "Looking for a girl.." has just started again, setting the tone for the day. Great beat, Great stops, Great lyrics, Great guitar work!!!

I wish for my life to go on like that.

Hooray for the music!!!

I love you all!
