Now there ain't no sexy dresses
And there ain't no beehive hair
Just boys who look like girls who look like boys who look like Cher



Question: I've looked up the lyrics to "Ooh Child." One site lists "We'll get it together and get it all done.' Another lists it as "undone."

I always hear it as "undone."

Which makes more sense?

I have heard "undone" for fifty years and didn't know there was another option


Their instruments are not plugged in.


These mother****ers are plugged in.

I'm better at listening to music than I used to be. Technically. I can now hear that this whole song is just a vamp on one minor chord. Then it goes major and then quickly to the fifth in the chorus and then back to the vamp.

Modal rock.

"All done" makes much more sense. Why would you put it together and then get it undone?

I've never heard "all done" either.

We get undone all the things that make ooo child have a rough time!


Why would it be all done? Ooo child is having enough stress just trying to deal with things right now, you pick this moment to decide to accomplish every goal?

In fact I'd read the song as a plea for release from political oppression and whatnot.

yeah. untangling difficulties is how I always heard it.


When they’re all singing it together it’s definitely “undone”. The first guy kinda stumbles out “all done” imo.

The opening trumpet fanfare definitely reminds me of some other song(s). My first thought was Beach Baby :27-32

Amazing screen grab from the Euro TV show version:

costumes and lasers got them noticed in the vast world of electronicaaint but the music equivalent now keeping them less than sailor lawn mowing stapleslove their name is loosely translated as 'chest pains'this is absurd the Alladin seats 600, that's well over a $500k gate

tried to get tickets to see head and heart at seattle symphony orchestra a few months back - cheapest ticket was like $800 and they sold out all 2,479 seats

same with david byrne playing somewhere else with cheapest ticket at 2k
