He's more of a meat support for 'The Nose', sad yes

It's the only song by them that I really like.

....which came a couple of years AFTER the Bucks Fizz song. poke

I'm always amazed that wasn't a bigger hit than it was - number 8 or something, and climbed quite slowly. Yet in the US and elsewhere it reached number one.

More of a B-side or album track than a single. Not one of their best. sleepy

It's a funny song. It's all rather unmemorable other than the synthesized vocally bit at the beginning and occasionally throughout.

The Call of the Wendigo wrote:Gary Numan - I Can't Stop.

Who'd have thought he'd have still been having hits in 1986. Although he did re-release "Cars (E-reg model)" in 1987.

The Call of the Wendigo wrote:This is not a record I have ever heard before.

Me neither.

Are we familiar with "Shrag"? Sly

The Call of the Wendigo wrote:Wham! are Number One with their classic song Where Did Your Heart Go?

Quite possibly the only ever number one performance on TOTP that no one has ever heard of.

by Butterfield Thu Oct 18, 2018 10:59 pm

Incidentally, Wham also performed the Last Christmas B-side, Everything She Wants, on TOTP just after Christmas.

~~Never heard of them.~~ Their early demos were alright, but they just went too commercial.

"Shrag"

It was horrendous. I actually think that episode was one of the worst I've seen so far in my favourite TOTP era (late 1983 onwards). And yet only a few weeks ago I thought an episode was one of the best!

But on the contrary. I thought it was the coolest thing ever music
