The Motels

"Led by the charismatic Martha Davis, the Motels were one of the most successful and acclaimed bands to emerge from the fertile Los Angeles new wave scene, reaching the Top Ten in 1982 with their biggest hit, "Only the Lonely.""

"Who's Problem Am I?"

"Knowing that time always tells
I find that you're not so sure of myself
I think you're wondering maybe you made a mistake
Now, nobody's perfect
Now, why don't you give me a break?

"I think of the places I visit
I think of the face I have lost
Think of it, I'd be a bargain
At half the cost
And except for the sanity
Nothing much has been lost

"So, whose problem am I?
Whose problem am I?
Whose problem am I?
If I'm not yours
You didn't have to adopt me
You could have very well left me
Outside your door "

I always liked this song by The Motels.

What about?

She looks cheesy and sounds nothing remarkable.

I think their first album is tops, sexy all the way through. Martha sounds so vulnerable:

Well, What I see posted here is licking a man's feet and pretending to lick the microphone. It's hard to notice she's trying to sing meanwhile.

Regarding "some really tough s***" - yes, it does look like she's taking it in the video you supply. That's not emotions, just some explicit efforts to me.

You can take a simple sanity test if you like: do you really know what she's singing about (no need to post the answer, just for yourself)?

Everyone uses sexual imagery to sell everything, so she gets no points off for that.
I didn't see any violence, which is nice.

I must say that it does look a little overbearing to me in that tub, just trying on the extreme pose trick possibly to gain more sales from the 'I like that album cover' weenies.
Wasn't exactly the apple of my eye
