That was a decent episode, with highlights by the Pretenders, the Housemartins, Cyndi Lauper and the Bangles .
Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it.

There's always something very delightful about Pretenders songs. And for some reason they don't seem to date as much as other songs of the era. Brass In Pocket could be from the same year as Don't Get Me Wrong!

This is a very bland song which could be from years before.

It's the start of a new era. 1986 was like a buffer between the earlier 80s acts and the late 80s acts.

I can see why it's not as famous as his other songs.
I too hadn't knowingly heard it before - and didn't find it great.

Yes, it even has lines like "I just love your sexy, sexy moves" - which I don't remember Karen Carpenter singing.

She was practically swimming in the dry ice at the beginning of the performance.

Probably the only video to feature both Princess Diana and Colonel Gaddafi.

I do feel that Stop Aitken and Waterman saved their best songs for Mel and Kim.
