Love can blossom at any age - I actually remember going to buy a ring for a girlfriend I had named Debbie - in grade one or two! True story - and 'Debi' is also the subject of this song - weirdness. Of course some might say that it's high school where first loves are usually found - and 'The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun' tells the story of a mysterious love affair that's gone terribly wrong.
Julie Brown is an American singer, comedian, and actress who first released this song in 1984 as the b-side to her single 'I Like 'Em Big And Stupid' - and it gained popularity when it was soon played on the Dr. Demento Show. The song is a spoof of 50's teen romance songs - and was released at a time before actual school shootings became a tragic reality. The song was later included on her debut album called 'Trapped In The Body Of A White Girl' which was released in 1987 - and a new recording of the song is included on her 2011 compilation album called 'Smell The Glamour - The Diamond Tiara Edition' - both of which are available on itunes.
So we continue our Valentine's Day Spectacular moving from one cheeky song to another - this is the original unedited version (there's also an edited version on youtube that changes some of the best lyrics - booo!) of the song and video for 'The Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun'... Enjoy!
