Thompson Twins

[jonesy]

mumu land, mumu land, all bound for mumu land..

Tammy Wynette rules!

edit.. Tammy Wynette in the vid reminds me of Lwaxana Troi!

Hmm. I think I must have missed the full extent of the KLF's weirdness at the time...

*sings*
Oh Doctor, Doctor,
Can't you see I'm burning, burning...

Ah, I remember singing 'Doctor Doctor, can't you see my hair is burning' when Michael Jackson had his firework/barnet interface moment.

Oh god, my first gig was the Thompson Twins. Poole Arts Centre 198?....

I did the same on Friday night. Started off on Depeche Mode and went onto various other Vince Clark collaborations. He is a very talented pop songwriter.

...

Depeche Mode, New Life...

Kurt Maloo: excellent name!

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Oh dear. I learned all of the lyrics to "Hold Me Now" by repeatedly playing the single and writing them down. I can still recite the whole first verse...

I know all the lyrics to that too! But only because me and Ms RT sing a version accompanied by my shitkicking country banjo picking ...

RT? Has your band been booked to play at Mickles cycling weekend in May?
Maybe you should tell him to book you.

First I've heard of it. I'll PM him and send him a CD.

My first gig was Toyah at Hammersmith. Again I say...Kill me now!

I've spent far too long today crawling around the nether regions of YouTube for dodgy 80s synthpop. Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Nik Kershaw, Gary Numan, Duran Duran...
And the towering excellence that is Souvenir by OMD

*goes all gooey with nostalgia*

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Wow, this is the longest thread I've ever started.

I trust you also found the Human League during your trawling?
