Ah, young love, ain't it great. Today's song was covered by The Vandals but was originally by The Simpletones, a band from Rosemead, California, who formed in 1978 and disbanded barely 2 years later after releasing a classic single, California/I Like Drugs. There was also an album released in 1979 on Posh Boy Records called Beach Blvd which featured 9 Simpletones songs as well as 5 by Rik L Rik and 4 by The Crowd. A compilation album collecting together all their stuff and entitled I Have A Date was released in 2002, hunt it down if you want to hear some classic early pop punk. This is the title track and it's one of the best of its type.....
I saw a girl and she drove me wild
She looked at me and I looked and smiled
The cutest girl you could ever see
I never dreamed she'd go out with me
We met at school so I asked her out
The only girl I ever thought about
Shes 16 and she's so divine
I never thought I would make her mine
I'm in love, I just cant wait, tonight, I have a date
(I have a date) with the cutest girl in town
(I have a date) and I'm the happiest boy around
I'm in love, I just cant wait, tonight, I have a date
Went to the movies in my parents car
I never dreamed I would get that far
I picked her up at a quarter to 8
I got there early didn't wanna be late
I never thought it would come to this
I drove her home and she gave me a kiss
I'm in love and it's here to stay
She says she really wants to see me again
I'm in love, I just cant wait, tonight I have a date
(I have a date) with the cutest girl in town
(I have a date) and I'm the happiest boy around
I'm in love, I just cant wait, tonight I have a date
I have a date(x4)
I'm in love, I just cant wait, tonight, I have a date
I have a date
