All songs in this connection with Red and Light in the title. All except or the OMD track does that mean Red Light, for OMD it means a Red Frame and White Light. Oh well, close enough. Nothing about the streets of Amsterdam, although Antwerp has a similar scene. You'll know if you go there. I like the cover with one close up of a red light and many red led lights in front of it. All I can say is if you have Last Exit and Billy Ocean, the sampling is diverse. I especially enjoy 1910 Fruitgum Company next to Todd Rundgren. If nothing else, I have a sense of humor.

Thanks! I didn't know most of these, but an applicable song I DID know is "Red Lights," by a late 70s power pop band called the Marbles:

I also see that there's a pretty good cover (update?) of it by this outfit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APbX69ya7_E .
Very nice version
DeleteFunny, as soon as I saw the title I remembered RED LIGHT by Merrill Moore (Country Boogie) 1952
