What Comets, Stars, and Moons are all about

Today we start a new regular feature on What Comets, Stars, and Moons are all about, the Guilty Pleasures. These are songs that I secretly rock out to in my loft to the chagrin of all my neighbors. I now open this secret door to all of you…but…um…let me put on some pants first.

All that really needs to be written about “Let’s Go All the Way” by Sly Fox is “zhum zhum zinna-ninny.” A cooler vocal rhythm bed is difficult to find in the world of 80s music and it is a constant surprise to me that no one has yet to cop it for a modern hip hop song.

“Let’s Go All the Way” also features poignant lyrics defining the time:

“Livin’ in New York looks like an apple core/
Asphalt Jungle got to be a man of war/
California dreamers sleeping in the sand/
The Hollywood Squares are living in Disney Land”

New York City – the Big Apple – apple core! Get it?
To me the song expresses a deep frustration with the way of the world and the only option remaining, to put it bluntly, is to fuck the days away until the bomb is dropped.
