1) Shuttlecocks
2) My first ever slow dance
3) I thought was Spandau but I'm wrong.

Number three were a trio who got into trouble with their dance routine back in the day.

Number two is a proper tune

Number one must be one of the easiest so far

Oh, I know 3! I loved this band! Think gold lamé onesies and unnecessary vowels.

As bing has spilt the beans, I'll share what must be one of my all-time favourite Top Of The Pops performances. Just impeccable.

Oops, sorry mate, I didn’t realise you weren’t supposed to say😄😄, I’ll keep schtum from now on!

It is an absolute tune though, such a simple but hypnotic riff.

Glad you posted the video as I'd have been none the wiser, I've always associated gold lame with Martin Fry...

Southbris, you have been foolish, too many times.
But now you're determined you're gonna get it right. :newthumb:

I was the same, kept wracking my brain convinced I'd get it. In the end I had to Google the lyrics, done my head in.

Number three is one of the finest songs of the entire decade. Elastica did a terrific cover of it in 2000, too.

Ah, bliss. Gladdens my heart to see such Bendy strife on a Friday morning. One might even call it perfect. :heart:
