Lyrics
Romeo and Juliet
Louis and Mademoiselle Antoinette
Napoleon and Josephine
Mickey and the Rodent Queen
Anthony and Cleopatra
Nicholas and Alexandra
Ken and Barbie, Dick and Jane
Well, Superman and Lois Lane
I am not impressed
I love you the best
(Impressed)
Well, I am not impressed
Just a bunch of losers
You know there are lot of fools
Long list of victims, not that cool
I got nothing in this world to live up to
I'll never kill you, this I swear
Then kill myself just to be fair
I'll never need another queen
We'll never face the guillotine
Love is gentle, love is kind
Doesn't poison baby's wine
Isn't jealous or provoked
Doesn't quit or give up hope
I am not impressed
And I love you the best
(Impressed)
I am not impressed
It's just a bunch of losers
Act just like a fool
A long list of victims, not that cool
I've got nothing to live up to
I am not impressed
A long list of victims
Well, I am not impressed
Long list of victims

After this was broadcast 38 years ago, I went to a night club with my friends, we had all watched The Tube earlier that evening, none of us could remember this guys name, but we all remembered his hair and none of us had a clue what he was singing about, one suggestion was "I am not T-Rex" it was only this week that I figured out he's saying "I am not impressed"🤣

I bought one of his albums in vinyl in my youth…His face was on the front wearing I think a black beret hat…He had the most cracking cheekbones 🥰 That album got played a lot! I have just recently sold most of my vinyls including the one of Charlie Sexton…Memories…Cheers for sharing! X

Lucky to have seen Charlie Sexton with Arc Angels many times in Austin. When their album came out in the early 90’s I wore that thing out.

He's doing terrific music education, amongst his other varied projects, in Texas these days.

The higher the hair the closer to God! 😂 Loved this song and Charlie is really talented. He plays with Bob Dylan today.

My wife and her friend saw CS at that time in EPTX and the women there were so ravenous for CS that another girl bit my wife’s friend. Actually, bit her. Crazy.

Such a talent - victimized by unfortunate 80’s packaging…Glad he’s had a long-sustained career as a group member/session player, beyond the Aqua Net and Keith Forsey/Billy Idol-lite era.

Amazing musician.. unfortunately for Charlie it was never going to happen for him in the U.K with the ultra-processed American Metal Guitar sound and the backing musicians who could sub for Huey Lewis' "news".

Absolutely no truth to the rumour that this fella was responsible for the “hole in the ozone layer” scare of the 80’s. 😉

WTF were they thinking! Had forgotten about this guy, fortunately his talent has endured, but FFS, that was cringeworthy! The audience non-reaction speaks volumes.
