Marie Marie - Do You Do You Brush Your Teeth - Vogue - 101 380 RKM - 1980

In 1979, Jay Alanski, together with the minds behind Plastic Bertrand/Elton Motello greatness Alan Ward, Mike Butcher and Lou Deprijck, worked with Teenie, a bilingual and very cool looking young lady, and recorded the same single twice, once in English and once in French. I assume these 50's ballads didn't take off, so they returned to the punk well with Do You Do You Brush Your Teeth. The song is beyond catchy, and Teenie really emphasized her British accent on this recording. Grasshopper, on the B side has interesting lyrics which I think are sung from the point of view of a grasshopper, but doesn't compare to the A side.
