about

Originally an early Sweet Madness song recorded but never released.n This Next Exit version was recorded in 1981.

lyrics

My auxiliary girl is fully automatic
High response and minimal static
With full wave bi-directional DC drive
Touch her solenoid controls and she comes alive

She’s got flat response with a minimal hump
Instantaneous start with no noticeable thump
Six millimeter stroke will turn her on
So fast to respond

Give me ten, and twenty more
Give me a hundred watts if you can
Give me a thousand watts of your love
Cuz I’m a 98 decibel man

Advanced front end controls are smooth as glass
The quality to the sound just radiates class
Clarity of texture, firm tight bass
But this ain’t no techno hi-fi race

Tuned to every nuance and every touch
This girl is much too much too much
I’m so glad I made her mine
I love the square wave rise time

Give me ten, and twenty more
Give me a hundred watts if you can
Give me a thousand watts of your love
Cuz I’m a 98 decibel man

Give me ten, and twenty more
Give me a hundred watts if you can
Don’t attenuate your love on me
Cuz I’m a 98 decibel man

(Gregor)

about

Next Exit Seattle, Washington

In 1981 Sweet Madness ditched Spokane for Seattle and changed their name to Next Exit.

The new lineup featured a more guitar-driven sound, with lead guitarist Greg Morlan replacing keyboardist John Robison.

For their first live show, they played at a Drive-In Movie Theater on the roof of the concession stand.

Static Cling was the first song they wrote with the new lineup.
