“C30, C60, C90, Go!”, a song about the burgeoning use of cassettes amongst music lovers (especially to make their own mix tapes from radio broadcasts and friends' records), was Bow Wow Wow’s debut single for EMI Records. It was one of the first, if not the first, single to have a cassette single edi...
[Verse 1]
Everyday I get a brand new show
Off the TV, records and radio
I breeze with the sleaze on my cassette
'Cause I got the affirmative magnolia! Man
[Chorus]
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
C-3-0, C-6-0
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
C-90 go 3-0 6-0 9-0 go
[Verse 2]
A bip bam boogie
And a booga rooga
My cassette's just like a bazooka
A blinga, a blanga
A bippity bop
Well, I'm going down to the record shop
And the boss said
"LP, single, picture cover or plain?
I got all the hits and all the big names
Get the biggest discounts in my store
If you buy three records
I'll give you four"
[Pre-Chorus]
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
Off the radio I get constant flow
Hit it, pause it, record and play
Turn it, rewind and rub it away
[Chorus]
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
C-3-0, C-6-0
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
C-90 go 3-0 6-0 9-0 go
[Verse 3]
It used to break my heart
When I went in your shop
And you said my records
Were out of stock
So I don't buy records in your shop
Now I tape 'em all 'cause I'm Top of the Pops-yeah!
Now I got a new way to move
It's shiny and black and don't need a groove
Well, I don't need no album rack
I carry my collection over my back
[Pre-Chorus]
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
Off the radio I get constant flow
Hit it, pause it, record and play
Turn it, rewind and rub it away
[Verse 3]
Policeman stopped me in my tracks
Said "Hey you, you can't tape that
You're under arrest 'cause it's illegal"
So I shrugged him off
And he blew his whistle
I'm a pirate and I keep my loot,
So I blew him out with my bazooka
[Pre-Chorus]
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
Off the radio I get a constant flow
Hit it, pause it, record and play
Turn it, rewind and rub it away
[Verse 4]
If you're rich enough
To have a record collection
I'll bring my bazooka 'round for inspection
Sometimes in bed
I get a hit twice as fast
So I press my playback
To make it last
I breeze with the sleaze
On my cassette
I've got the affirmative magnolia! Now
[Pre-Chorus]
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
Off the radio I get a constant flow
Hit it, pause it, record and play
Turn it, rewind and rub it away
[Chorus]
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
C-3-0, C-6-0
C-30 C-60 C-90 go
C-90 go 3-0 6-0 9-0 go
