Elektra 60319-1 (1984)
Side One Bag Lady (I Wonder) Stop Stop Give It Up I Want Cash Kuchenga Pamoja TV Guide
Side Two Video D.J. Pop Art Bop Rockin' Robin' AEIOU Sometimes Y The Dawn
Written by Ebn-Ozn Produced by Ebn Co-Produced by Ozn Videos Produced by Ozn except "Rockin' Robin'" Co-Produced by Ebn
Gee, I wonder who they REALLY are. (No I don't - I have a hunch they're included in the "Special Thanks" section, though)
Vocals by Ozn, Fairlight by Ezn - for the most part.
Guest appearance by TITO PUENTE on "Video D.J.!"
I have no idea what "Videos" they could be talking about, though. I guess they didn't come with this LP.
Hell, I'm just thrilled to have this - who WOULDN'T want the album by the one-hit wonder? (I actually have TWO 12" singles but I couldn't tell you what the other one is without looking it up. And I'm LAZY.)

AMG says they are Ned Liben and Robert Rosen. So I can see where they get Ebn and Ozn. Wait, no I can't.

If that's the song I think it is, I LOVE THAT SONG!! But dont girls sing it?
I think the song you're thinking of is "IOU" by Freeez. If it goes "A-E-A-E-I-O-U-U, I sometimes cry", that's Freeez. It's actually a guy singing--John Rocca--but it sounds like a girl.
The Ebn-Ozn song is slower in tempo; there's a pause between each letter. Despite the impression that may be left by the cover, there really wasn't much doubt that it was a guy singing even on casual listen.
They're both good songs.
I do vaugely remember seeing and liking the "Bag Lady" video, but I have no idea who was in it.
Good to have this feature back. | Eddie Famous

They play the 'AEIOU and sometimes Y' fairly regularly on VH-1 Classic (yes, it STILL rules!)
I had no idea they were known as Ebn & Ozn. I'd only seen the video, I had never seen any interviews with them, so that's some neat info. Thanks! | CRZ

o_O... they scare me. You'd think someone would notice that (or was it just your copy?) before they printed 'em up... | CRZ

There's an interview with Ozn here (80music.about.com) but he's not asked about it. There's another picture of this cover there and it looks about the same (except they trimmed the border - they probably had a SLIGHTLY smaller scan area )
On another note, apparently Ebn died like five years ago.
Back, WAY back, to pieman AMG says they are Ned Liben and Robert Rosen. So I can see where they get Ebn and Ozn. Wait, no I can't.
I guess "Liben/Rosen" didn't have the ring that "Ebn-Ozn" has? (Note: they rhyme!)

Hey, isn't that that one opening lyric from that Def Leppard song? "Ebn-Ozn-Liben-Rosen."
