First heard at the excellent Litte Hits: www.littlehits.com. Awesome, killer arrrrrgggghhh it’s powerpop till you bleed. Need I say more? No! Thank you! Now over to Jon at Little Hits:”You know how so many punk and power pop records of the era have “ironic” lyrics about taking you out to the drive-in or meeting your parents, or whatever? This one evokes an innocence that seems completely real, an un-selfconsciousness that not even the fake British accents can negate.”
Country: USA
Year: 1982
Label: Criminal
Format: 7″
Songs:
Mary’s Got Her Eye On Me.mp3
Machine Working Overtime
You’re right. This IS powerpop until you bleed.
Wow!! Way better then all this punk and HC crap you upload here.

Make’s me feel like a senior in high school again!There is a 5 song E.P. out there too Folks.Smart Remarks”Seriously Speaking” recorded in 1985.
Hey Todd. I ran across this single while looking through the KBD archives. I loved “Mary’s Got Her Eye On Me” and listened to the others you had linked on Smart Remarks’ MySpace. I liked most of it and was surprised to hear a Dirty Looks cover. Any chance of a CD release of this stuff? I’d buy it
This song makes me feel 14 again.. sigh.
Prone to vulgarity, I heard this song, held my wife’s hand and danced politely in our living room. Thanks.
