You're Alive!

[GuyGadoir]

...Yes, you're alive!
You breathe and eat and grow!
And that is how you know, a-oh, a-a-a-oh!

An ice cream cone's not alive
(No, no, no, no, no!)
No, a rock's not alive!
(No, no, no, no, no!)

...Pity that is all I remember. Blue/blond lead singer with sunglasses. Supercool guy! Plea for MP3 or other source of re-enjoying this wondrous song follows.
Do any of you out there have a recording of this one? I have some to trade.

The singer in that song is named Little Chrissy. The song can be found on the video/ DVD Rock & Roll! I'm not sure whether that DVD is still in print (It's been two years since I last saw the DVD in stores).

That's my favorite song by the Alphabeats, actually. You have to love how the backup singers do the "breathe in/breathe out" bits between verses.

Thanks very much. It is such an awesome song it has stuck with me all these years. I'll never understand why it didn't make the cut for some of the cds or television specials.

I now shall try to find out when Little Chrissy will be on tour.

Good song, I was always a fan of Chrissy & The Alphabeats myself.
I actually just bought the Rock N' Roll DVD from Amazon about a month ago.
Great disc!!
