Before the Go-Go's there was this band. The Flirts was a girl group from the early 1980's that truly knew how to make you get up and dance! They had a very upbeat sound and fun lyrics that made you smile. I highly reccomend this album! Although very few people have even heard of The Flirts, those that have can thank Amazon.com for stocking their music. I know I do!!!

If you like classic 80's or surf rip offs then you'll love this LP, "10 Cents A Dance". The Flirts were just one of Bobby O's MANY creations & possibly one of his best. 2 LP traxx are FLIPPIN FANTASTIC!! Jukebox (Don't Put Another Dime) & PASSION. Both hits are world known within the dance circuit. The other LP traxx worth mentioning "R", "Surf's Up" & "On The Beach" (sound like A Rock Lobster rip off). The Flirts LP "10 Cents A Dance" obtains that 80's synth dance flavor we 80's music fiends adore! If you like this CD then I strongly suggest you purchase all of The Flirts LPs. Other Flirt LPs 2 look out 4 "R", Blondes, Brunettes & Redheads, Questions Of The Heart, Made In America, The Best Of The Flirts & 2 many others 2 mention. As a DJ I have never been disappointed with any Flirts LPs. Bobby O done himself good with this 80's girl group. A few other Bobby O creations 2 look out 4 "R", DIVINE, Pet Shop Boys, Ronnie Griffith, Hotline, Oh Romeo, Tony Caso, Waterfront Home, Frankie Avalon, Band Of South, Girly, Banana Republic, Claudja Barry, Gomez Presley, Patty Phillipe & of course BOBBY O himself. Bobby O is responsible for more than 100 groups of KICK AZZ DANCE MUSICK!! If you LUV the 80's ITALO dance circuit then you'll LUV ALL the artists mentioned ABUV. Bobby O is by far one of AMERICA's top contributers to the dance scene & has given us DJ's SNAPPIN hits. Keep PUMPIN EM Out Bobby!!

Your arhcetypical new wave album. Whether the "band" ever had their own sound is debateable, but producers and remix jockeys went to town on the final production. Heavily remastered, over-dubbed etc. Bobby Orlando at his best.

That being said, this album was low profile enough that it still has some rough edges that make it interesting. Lots of synthesizer hooks, etc.

It is another example in a long line of music that proves that CREATIVITY goes a lot further than MONEY can in producing something interesting.

How cool were they? Just listen to Passion, sadly the extended dance version isn't on here. But the version in here will do. Then also check out Jukebox and We Just Want to Dance. Great girl group who never made it any bigger than this! But with Felix da Housecat mixing in Passion's musical bridge from the 12 inch version is a testament to their lasting appeal.

What a goody..how did ya like that goody!!!! Can I help yooooo? This is a great CD. The Flirts are toeHoe!!! I loved their rare concert when they did fun tunes like, "Rain Stinks", "Johnny Glanceeee Rubs It", "Joey and Cathy Hime Want To Be Doctors and Lawyers", "Can Walphy Gwancee Come Out?", "Someone Stole Kathy's Purse", "Gooch Is A Molester", "One Beer, One Ale, One Wubby", "Dazy Is A Schitzo", "The Doorknob Goes In My Way", "Franny Puts Ssa Hershey on Nippy's Pillow". I remember meeting the 4th or 5th generation of Flirts at Trout and Trotts bar in Hanyu and we had a Fumm chompin' time!! Get this CD...and I said NOWWWWWWWWWW!
