My Kind of Girl: Cinema: somewhere early 80’s South Africa

Remember Cinema and My Kind of Girl,’ Our SA artist too recognized the lure of bubble-gum pop..

“Cinema became a pop sensation that graced the pages of almost every magazine and newspaper during the 80s and 90s.

With no less than twelve Number 1 hit singles both nationally and internationally the band became a household name throughout South Africa.

Their songs are still play listed on most national, regional and community radio stations and fans still show their appreciation by continuously visiting Cinemas website and sending emails from all corners of the globe.

Cinema toured constantly for over 10 years and became one of the countries most exciting live acts whilst attracting thousands of fans and performing sellout shows from Johannesburg to Prieska and Cape Town to Lichtenburg.”[1]


“I won’t be dancing tonight

I played my cards just right
And now I’ve found someone
Someone to love me
No excuses, oh no
You blew my fuses
And all my lights are down
I’m so glad to have found you
My kind of girl, my kind of girl
I should show the world to find, my girl, my kind of girl
And all those guys dress to kill
I know that some-day they will find somebody too
But they won’t find you
Because you told me today and warned me today, I said I will
I so glad to have found you
My kind of girl, my kind of girl
I should show the world to find, my girl, my kind of girl
I want the whole world to see that girl who’s in love with me”
