Very little to write about this short-lived (1982-1987) Los Angeles band, Burning Sensations; but they had a great song "Pablo Picasso" which appeared on the sountrack for the 1984 movie Repo Man which starred Harry Dean Stanton, and a then unknown Emilio Estevez. In my opinion, it is one of the best movie soundtracks to come out in the 80's among a few others.
Burning Sensations was formed by Tim McGovern who had previously been a member of the band The Motels (see 80's Quest post). Apparently this band had one other hit "Belly of the Whale" which had an accompanying video on MTV, I watched a clip on youtube, but I don't recall the song at all.
Tim McGovern currently fronts a classic rock band called Knucklehead in the Pacific Northwest.
"Pablo Picasso" was a cover of a Jonathan Richman song
Lyrics:
Some people try to pick up girls they get called an asshole
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
Why he could walk down your street, girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
Not like you
Now, the girls would turn the color of an avacado
When he would drive down the street in his El Dorado
Why, he was only 5'3" girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
Not in New York
Some people try to pick up girls get called an asshole
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
Why he could walk down your street, girls could not resist his stare
Subsequently, Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
Nope, Not around here
Not like you
Nuthin
The girls would turn the color of an avacado
When he would drive down the street in his El Dorado
Why, he was only 5'3" girls could not resist his stare
Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
Not like you
Yeah, he was really something
