Scene in a Dream with a Movie Queen

Song of the Day:

Gruppo Sportivo – Dreamin’

This is one of the more mysterious records in the vast Infinite Jones Archives.  Gruppo Sportivo is a Dutch Satirical / New Wave group, mildly popular in their home country and known somewhat in Europe but, ignored in the States.  Dreamin’ appears on a compilation of their early stuff called Mistakes that was released in the U.S. in 1979, although it seems to be on none of their other records (that we can find – details are sketchy).  The song itself is weird and slightly kinky but, an irresistible ear worm.  It could easily have been a New Wave hit but, seems not to have been at least outside of the the Netherlands (possibly not even there).  A friend of ours somehow had it in his record collection, he was not sure where he got it but, the song became part of our shared musical history and has many fond memories for us.  This is, of course, a vinyl rip because what else could it be?  Anyway, be prepared once you hear it it will get suck in your head.  Enjoy the weirdness and dig the obscurity.
