Is It Okay If I Call You Mine - Paul McCrane - Song of the Week

The lyric "It Sets off Something In Me That I Can't Explain" comes from "Is It Okay If I Call You Mine" from the original Fame Movie. Written and performed by Paul McCrane.

Download MP3 

Is it okay if I call you mine just for a time?

And I will be just fine

If I know that you know that

I'm wanting, needing your love

Oh-oh-oh, woah woah woah

If I ask of you, is it alright?

If I ask you to hold me tight

Through a cold, dark night

'Cause there maybe a cloudy day in sight

And I need to let you know that

I might be needing your love

Oh oh, woah woah, woah woah

And what I'm tryin' to say isn't really new

It's just the things that happen to me

When I'm reminded of you

Like when I hear your name

Or see a place that you've been

Or see a picture of your grin

Or pass a house that you've been in one time or another

It sets off something in me, I can't explain

And I can't wait to see you again

Oh babe, I love your love

Oh-oh-oh, woah woah woah

What I'm tryin' to say isn't really new

It's just the things that happen to me

When I'm reminded of you

Hi Fidelity Song of the Month

 

"Hi Fidelity" is a fun pop song written by Enid Levine in 1981. Enid would then record it on her solo album "American Love" in 1983.

In "Fame" it appears  in the Season 1 episode "The Sell Out", when Bruno goes to the music store to buy a new synthesizer. Sung by Valerie Landsburg with backing from Lee Curreri and Carlo Imperato.

It was chosen by RCA to be released as the first Kids from Fame Single, whilst in America it went pretty much unnoticed in the U.K. and other parts of the World it was a smash hit, reaching Number 5 on the U.K. charts. It also featured on the huge selling Kids From Fame album. The recorded version is slightly different to the episode version. 

When the cast toured in 1982 and 1983 Valerie wasn't part of the U.K. shows and Debbie Allen performed a version of the song in the concerts and that version was included on The Kids From Fame Live Album.    

Naturally it was also included on the compilation albums "Best of Fame" and "Ultimate Fame". It was also one of the 4 songs included on the 1983 Flip Hits Cassette release. 

As years went by Valerie Landsburg the song in it's original format didn't fit with a woman of her age. For her 2001 "Grown Up" album she had Lee Curreri adapt the song into a new version so it was less bouncy. She performed the song on the U.K. day time TV show "Good Morning" in 2004.

At the initial Fame Reunions Valerie avoided performing the song and really had to be talked into it.  The first performance was at the 2017 L.A. Reunion and it was repeated in Italy later that year. 

In 2019 in Liverpool Reunion shows Valerie wore a special dress, with comic strip style drawings taken from the the episode performance. This performance was recorded and appears on the Live In Liverpool CD.

In 2022 Valerie wore an 80s style Doris permed wig and bright stripped trousers for her performance which went down a storm. 

Valerie told Now 80s that she is now resigned to always having to perform the song at any of the Fame concerts.   

The song was also covered by the D Dance School on their Fame covers album and a Instrumental version Released on the Fame Karaoke Album in the 00s.

In 2018 Daphne and Celeste recording a cover version of the song for the B Side of their single "Alarms".

Lyrics:

Other boys may turn me on

But I let temptation slide

Used to be so plain to see

The hunger in my eyes

But now I'm buying (Buying)

Trying (Trying)

 

Hi-fidelity High (Hi-hi-hi)

Hi-fidelity High (Hi-hi-hi)

Keeping it light  Keeping us tight Alright

Hi-fidelity

Quadraphonic sound, stereo desire

Coming to you loud and clear

With a brand new fine-tuned radio

And I'm so glad you're here

Someone to lie with (Lie with)

Fly with (Fly with)

Hi-fidelity High (Hi-fi-fi)

Hi-fidelity High  (Hi-fidelity)

Hi-fidelity High (Hi-fi-fi)

Keeping it light (Keeping it light)

Keeping us tight Alright

Hi-fidelity 

Is it real or is it synthesized

Maybe I'm being hypnotized

I need you baby, and my feelings are true

I'm saving my love for you

 

Now in my dreams and in my heart

On my frequency

I'm the number-one song on your chart

It's where I want to be.

Someone to lie with  (Lie with, lie with)

Fly with, fly with

 

Hi-fidelity High (Hi-hi-hi)

Hi-fidelity High (Hi-fidelity)

Hi-fidelity High (Hi-hi-hi)

Keeping it light (Keeping it light)

Keeping us tight,  Alright

 

Hi-fidelity  High  (Hi-hi-hi)

Hi-fidelity High (Hi-fidelity)

Hi-fidelity High (Hi-hi-hi)

Bigger than life (Bigger than life)

Making our night Alright.

Hi-fidelity  (Hi-fidelity Hi-fidelity) 

Hi-fidelity (Hi-fidelity Hi-fidelity)

"You gotta be your own hero.
 You gotta have something worth fighting for.
 Go out and find your own dream now. Oh, now.
 'Cause you only get one shot now, baby.
 You better make it hot now, baby.
 Give it what you got.

You gotta be your own hero (Be your own hero) 
Be your own hero (Gotta be your own hero).
Be your own hero.

Wishing on a rainbow at my feet.
It's a lucky sign.
Ain't nothing but the oil slick in the street,
After the rain.
But I, I feel A rush of inspiration in my heart.
It's real, Gonna ride this new sensation.
Tonight I'm opening and starring In my life.
You gotta be your own hero.
You gotta be your own hero.

Innocence in white chiffon.
You can't save it once it's gone.
Still the beat goes on.
As we watch our legends dying.
Toy soldiers in a storm.
Falling one by one.
So Drink a toast to Jimmy Dean And the queen of Sigma Chi.

You gotta be your own hero (Gotta be your own hero) 
Be your own hero (Gotta be your own hero)
Be your own hero.

Light a candle for the believers,
Still reaching for the sky (Reaching for the sky).
The future's in their eyes.
You gotta be your own hero 
(La La, la, la La, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la) 
You gotta be your own hero 
(La La, la, la La, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la) 

You gotta be your own hero (La)
Look into their eyes (La, la, la) 
You gotta be (La, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la) 
You gotta be your own hero (La) 
Light a candle for the believers (La, la, la)
You gotta be (La, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la) 
You gotta be your own hero (La, la, la, la) 
You gotta be your own hero. (La!)"
