Featured Unknown/Underrated Song*: The Hooters, with "All You Zombies"

The lead singer from this group, Eric Bazilian, and the keyboardist (Rob Hyman) were arrangers and also provided backing vocals and played on Cyndi Lauper's debut album, She's So Unusual.  Great song here from Philly's Hooters.  If you look at the peak for the song in 1985 (#58) you would be very deceived by its popularity:

All You Zombies
Hooters


Written By Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman



Holy Moses met the Pharaoh
Yeah, he tried to set him straight
Looked him in the eye
"Let my people go"

Holy Moses on the mountain
High above the golden calf
Went to get the Ten Commandments
Yeah, he's just gonna break 'em in half

All you zombies, hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The pieces gonna fall on you

No one ever spoke to Noah
They all laughed at him instead
Working on his ark
Working all by himself

Only Noah saw it coming
40 days and 40 nights
Took his sons and daughters with him
Yeah, they were the Israelites

All you zombies, hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The rain's gonna fall on you

Holy Father, what's the matter?
Where have all your children gone?
Sitting in the dark, living all by themselves
You don't have to hide anymore

All you zombies, show your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The pieces gonna fall on you

All you zombies, show your faces (I know you're out there)
All you people in the street (Let's see you)
All you sittin' in high places
It's all gonna fall on you

Zombies...
