I couldn't get enough of it. I'll have to check out more of their stuff...

That's a song I first heard on 91X on the radio in about 1984 - I was 14 years old and it made an impression. At the record stores I would go to they typically would not have Toy Dolls records, and if they did I was more likely to pick up something I was more looking for. Just recently it seems like much of the music that was at the edges of what I would want to listen to is very available. It's terrific, because I can see what I missed out on for 20 years. And Toy Dolls look to be worth a serious look. :-) I love Nellie the Elephant. That’s a song I first heard on 91X on the radio in about 1984 – I was 14 years old and it made an impression.
