It seems to be about a visually unappealing composer who wants to marry Sarah Brightman.

I wonder where Andrew Lloyd Webber got the idea from? Excited

It is a song that's struggling to hold my attention.

Sarah Brightman staring at me again. llama

Does she actually do anything on this song?

They could've got anyone in to stand there doing nothing while he sings. They could've got Fanny Craddock in, to look like this

Top Ten.

Aretha Franklin has her first British Number One. Excited

Even with George Michael getting in her way. box

One of these people is clearly singing better than the other one.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 28, 2019 7:54 pm

George Michael is suddenly in the same room as her. I'd assumed it was one of those, "They've never met," situnarios. gasp

Playing out with Hot Chocolate and You Sexy Thing. bananashake

Hot Chocolate having hits in 1987. They are truly epic. box

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 28, 2019 7:58 pm

That was a decent episode despite not really having any decent tracks - apart from Eric - on it until the playout.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited

How Soon is Now is quite different from the rest of the Smiths work.

:snaps Kit-Kat in half:

It's actually good.

Actually, I take that back, after about 32 minutes, or what seems like it, it does go into a poor man's How Soon Is Now.

Yes I noticed him too, strutting around the stage with a long, black coat.

This is one of my favourite tracks by him.
