| Kim Wilde – Wendy Sadd Lyrics | 10 months ago |
|
Marty about Wendy Sadd: This was based on the kind of police brutality that you meet in certain sections of America. I saw the song, like I see most of the others, as a mini film with a very sad dejected girl falling into the hands of a very powerful authority. The actual name ‘Wendy Sadd’ comes from Top of the Pops, where there used to be a girl – or she may still work there for all I know – called Wendy Sadd. When Ricky came home and said he had met a girl by that name, I said that is an incredible name and should be a title of a song. So, Wendy Sadd is actually a real name. |

| Kim Wilde – Cambodia Lyrics | 10 months ago |
| Folks, please read about the Operation Freedom Deal, Nixon bombing Cambodia, the Kmer Rouge uprising and simply some history on Cambodia through the 70’s. Wilde’s FATHER wrote the song. When it came out in 1981, Kim was young (about 20) and probably didn’t even know how deep the song was. Watch the song’s video and you will see multiple images of warfare. He was a bomber and did not return from mission: either he crashed or tried to defect and got caught and killed. Prior, he was deeply troubled by information he could not share. | |
