PSYCHOMANIA - Girls Just Want To Have Fun (Cyndi Lauper Cover)

 A jazzy old time 20's style song written by Marc as part of his "Atlantic Stories" sessions which were all hymns, sea shanties and turn of the century folk. Not the easiest genres to write... and not much demand for anyone to write 'em, but what's a Three Penny Opera fan supposed to do in his spare time?

MARC GODFREY & THE VAMPIRE BATS - Hypnotized! (Bad Flapper)

 Check out the SNL Slow Motion Hallway skit here at Secret Agent Records... https://www.facebook.com/SecretAgentRecords
The big hit off of "Americanized". Marc once famously proclaimed to a room full of DreamWorks Records A&R men that... "You could put this song in a safe and then bury it in your back yard and it'll still become a hit!" His statement proved prophetically true! Originally a Teen Party anthem, "(More Bounce In) California" just kept growing... It's been featured in movies, MTV shows, Nascar, played in stadiums at sporting events and last year the song was so iconic it was used in the SNL Slow Motion Hallway skit. The Cheerleader chorus is Leslie Alejandro, Gina Anderson, Daye Rose and Cassie Betts!
Recently it was number 2 on a buzzfeed list of best songs about California...

THE VAMPIRE BATS - Vivienne Westwood

From the Soul Kid #1 triple single! This is a ridiculously smooth piece of sexy dance pop rock written around some very slinky fender rhodes piano played by Andy Kaulkin (President of EPITAPH Records...) The track was produced by Nic Jodoin & Michael Patterson. Flash Action is on bass, Tommy Triant on Guitar, Joey Waronker (Borrowed from BECK) on drums and Cassie Betts & Leslie Alejandro are singing back ups. This song moves like Jagger.

SOULKID #1 - Honey Honey
