This is a perfectly good song, badly performed.

by Nightjar Sun Jul 12, 2020 9:04 pm

This is as bad an album as we've done.

Track 9 -

Backing singer, shut up.

by Guest Sun Jul 12, 2020 9:06 pm

I'm still trying to work out who they sound like, The Christians?

Or a whole heap o' bands I didn't like at the time, and didn't like on the repeats of Top of the Pops.

Is this song really called "Tremble Dancing"?

by Nightjar Sun Jul 12, 2020 9:06 pm

Wobble Shuffling?

It's like they can't decided if it's a duet or not.

Probably cheaper to call it backing Vocals. asp

Teeter Bopping?

It's not funny.

This came with a '4 page insert with lyrics translated into French, Italian and German', well, no reason why an inability to understand English should deprive the listener of these GR8 lyrics.

Is this about getting a pocket hanky j*b?

Last one! Of Tears

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Jul 12, 2020 9:09 pm

Last track - Of Tears.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Jul 12, 2020 9:09 pm

It seems to be a cover version.

by Guest Sun Jul 12, 2020 9:09 pm

I bet they though they were the bee's knees.

All Pony tails and attitude.

Icicle Works, Wah, Then Jerico, Bruce Springsteen.

This is even more shrill than the rest.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Jul 12, 2020 9:11 pm

It all seems to have been left to the backing singer.

by Guest Sun Jul 12, 2020 9:11 pm

I always get the Icicle Works confused with Echo and the Bunnymen.

And Julian Cope's band.
