This was kind of Bros's last hurrah in the charts - this song plummeted and the following singles all performed mediocrely, then poorly.

In fairness, it was co-written by Desmond Child, who also worked on Bon Jovi songs.

Have you missed an episode? It was played during the previous episode - and as a result has leapt 28 places in the charts to number 3.

We're really moving into the era of colourful lycra and fluorescent Bermuda shorts, the latter worn by Mark Goodier (and me circa 1990). Bum bags next!

Rumours flying that BBC4 is to close down.

No falling records.

Sounds like very generic Adult Oriented Rock.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat May 09, 2020 5:19 pm

Frontman is very run-of-the-mill.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat May 09, 2020 5:19 pm

As is everything about the venture.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat May 09, 2020 5:20 pm

Drummer looks like he should be in Bros.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat May 09, 2020 5:20 pm

In fact, they all come across like they're not into Rock really.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat May 09, 2020 5:21 pm

Martika - Toy Soldiers.

Video looks like it includes clips from a 1980s movie.

I suspect they're not really.
