Who sang the 'clapping song' ?? 7 girls i think.

Alannah someone..what band was she in (not Morissette)- was she with HJ.

I remember Buggles (got the CD!); Howard Jones, Tears for Fears (have 2 CDs!), Big County. Half remember Toni Basil. Oh yes and that Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel (some drugs thinng? - had the 12" single).

The guy from Big Country is dead. What was the name of the Howard Jones "hit" was it New Song or something like that. "Video killed the radio Star" has arisen again - even my 12 year old knows it ...

Mr A

The "drugs thing" was "White Lines (Don't Do It)". "And if you get addicted, it ain't nobody else's fault so DON'T DO IT!".

Alannah somebody - possibly Alannah Currie who was in The Thompson Twins: big blonde mohican? Ring any bells? "We Are Detective", "You Take Me Up", "Doctor Doctor", etc?

David Sylvian - Japan were a superb band, still listen to them occasionally.

Barkles - yes those were the days when you could do bugger all in the afternoons, just play games on your ZX81.

mmmm.

PB - White Lines by Grandmaster flash

TSB - Yes New Song was one of his. By the way, i didn't know Stuart Adamson was dead. !

Mr A

09/10/2002 at 15:53

Howard Jones: "New Song", "What Is Love", "Like To Get To Know You Well", erm, that's all the ones I can remember.

Nik Kershaw, anyone?

Caz

Alannah Currie..cheers Mr A.

oh no, Caz has mentioned the Toni Basil song.

Wah, forgot about them.

Mr A

09/10/2002 at 16:02

The Mighty Wah! "Story of the Blues" is, quite simply, one of the best songs of all time!

"Imagination" had a very naughty video from what I remember, with one of the greatest opening lines ever - "She lit a cigarette, both hands behind her back".

Xerxes

09/10/2002 at 16:03

sorty = story.

Blue Zoo - cry boy cry?
Fiat Lux - you've been reading my diary.

Echo Beach - Martha and the Muffins

Who else used to listen to Annie Nigtingale after the charts on a Sunday???

Mr A

09/10/2002 at 16:05

"We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind, 'cos your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance, then they're no friends of mine. We can go where we want to, if we don't, nobody will. And you can act real cool, and totally removed, and I can act like an imbecile."

Reminiscing isn't what it used to be....

Caz

09/10/2002 at 16:06

Actually "The Story of the Blues" song (I'm crap at song titles) is the one on my tape, fantastic!! I was on the tube by then and whacked the volume up. (Way on low for Bucks Fizz and Five Star especially)

The Human League one wasn't Don't you want me, some later number, oh it's going to bug me now.

Actually how do you light a cigarette with both hands behind your back?? I might try that Friday.

"Echo Beach" - now there was a gem...

"Is Vic There" by Department S

Mike S

09/10/2002 at 16:09

that was Safety Dance by Men without Hats

also put me in mind of Waiting For a Train by Flash & The Pan

God I'm almost feeling nostalgic about that awful decade....

Mr A

09/10/2002 at 16:10

Human League: "Mirror Man", "Louise", "Love Action", "Human", "(Keep Feeling) Fascination", "Lebanon"???

Xerxes

09/10/2002 at 16:11

The Lebanon?
Seconds?

Xerxes

09/10/2002 at 16:11

Mr A - you are a whizz with the keyboard!

Imagination was by Belouise Somme and yes the video was banned for a while cos it was naughty. Similar to Duran Duran's Girls on film

Alanah currie was in Thompson Twins as was Tom Bailey and erm Joe Leeway. Thompson Twins was originally formed by Tom Bailey and Pete Dodd. They used to invite folk up onto the stage and give em percussion instruments to bang as they pleased in time to the music.

Stuart Adamson of Big Country died last year I think it was

Department S - Is vic there
