E.G. Daily - Is Anybody Home? (1985)




Here's an ultra obscure treat. E.G Daily is not just the singer and song writer for this track. E.G Daily is actually a fairly under the radar actress and a very prominent voice actor. Most notably, she was Pee-wee's love interest Dot in Pee-wee's Big Adventure, and she was also a co star in the movie Valley Girls. More recently-ish, she also played the role of Phoebe's ex-parter in music for an episode of Friends.

However she will most notably be recognized as the voice of Tommy from the Rugrats cartoon, which is her same voice for nearly all of her voice over work in other cartoons. Coincidentally, her "Tommy" voice is exactly the same as her sultry and sassy 80s singing voice here. Who knew that voice could be sexy? Keep in mind, this was a decade before Rugrats. It was sexy before it was the voice of a bald baby.

Anyway, aside from this being a fantastic track and immensely unique and impressive vocal performance, there is a classy bed of very warm FM bass keeping things relevant. I am not going to sit here and say this is the best FM I have ever heard in a track, but I think the unique circumstances of who E.G. Daily is make this track more than worthy of being posted here. Enjoy!

Fun Fact: Harold Faltermeyer co-wrote this song, and performed all the keys. He also wrote the Axel F theme song, and the Top Gun Anthem. Dude's got skills.
