tainted love - gets me every time. and i'd commented first for a change but my computer swallowed it up, telling me that Q has used up most of this month's bandwith allowance. poo sticks. |
I was under the impression that one in ten referred to the percentage of people who suffer from some form of disability, not the number people who were unemployed. |
UB40 - you say "The world still doesn't care enough". The world doesn't care at *all*. Someone, somehwere excludes the socially excluded. |
Ah yes, Tainted Love was one of the few 12 inches I bought. Excellent stuff. As was Prince Charming. And then there was "Start Me Up".. the last decent Stones Single? Depeche Mode I never got. |
That was back in the days when UB40 were actually good and not putting out awful cover versions between money fights. And 27 points for mentioning John Foxx, who released a new album last month... |
I think I love all these songs (apart from Portsmouth Sinfonia which I have never heard of). I even liked the Cliff Richard one, but then I was only young. |
I can do the Prince Charming dance and I wasn't even born in 1981... |
I thought 1 in 10 was reference to statistical 'chance' of someone being gay? Ninth. (Like, it matters?) |
Butbutbut worrabaht... the OTHER twelve-inch two-song medley that defined Summer 1981? Did we have it last month? Can't remember. Has to be Play To Win, followed by Souvenir, and then a dead heat between Slow Hand, You'll Never Know and So This Is Romance. |
Joe Dolce... |
Wired for Sound? I'm still emotionally scarred by the video for that... |
Many years ago I heard Portsmouth Sinfonia on the radio, laughed so much I bought the LP. First job in the morning will be up in the loft looking for it. |
"Ridicule is nothing to be scared of" was for a long long time mis-sung as "Pretty jewellery's nothing to be scared of" - not that far off the mark really. |
Prince Charming, Souvenir and Tainted Love. I'm eagerly awaiting Labelled With Love, and What a Good Year for the Roses. amongst many other true classics of the best year, ever... |
UB40. Amazing when you think how little progress the human race has made (except statistically), in these 25 years. |
