105.7 KOKZ is your home for Classic American Top 40 every weekend! This Saturday morning Casey Kasem features the top songs from August 11th, 1979 with a four hour show starting at 8. It’s where I found today’s Forgotten 45 at 3:45 from Joe Jackson with “Is She Really Going Out With Him”.
The song was written and performed by the British native, the song was intended to be humorous and a commentary on women dating unattractive men. The song was originally released in 1978 but didn’t go anywhere, but in ’79 it took hold reached #21 in the US and became the first of 4 top 40 hits for Jackson.
An incredible bass line that will get stuck in your head, take a look & listen at a live performance of Joe Jackson’s “Is She Really Going Out With Him” today’s Forgotten 45.
