Musical Interlude: Whirly Girl (1983)

Here's a one-hit wonder with some serious groove.

OXO scored its only hit in 1983 with the infectious "Whirly Girl". Vocalist Angel Ledesma wrote the song about his wife, Lori, who'd later be a part of the later pop combo, Company B. Deborah Jenssen (Solid Gold) is the titular doll in the video.



I guess Deborah was meant to be a stand-in for Lori Ledesma, since her top matches Angel Ledesma's jacket. I had the vinyl single, and just couldn't stop playing it back in the day.
