Song title: If You Leave Me Can I Come too?

Artist: Mental As Anything

Year: 1981

Why I like this song:

From one group of goofballs to another.

I recall the Mentals being a major presence on radio in the eighties. And later in my adulthood, I started listening to their albums seriously. And even though the Mentals have written some quality songs, they will forever be a group of goofballs - as evidenced by this song. Sure the main hook is the pun of the title but there is quite snappy song. And that is the deception that works in the Mentals favour: Great songs written by a goofballs
