hydro I guess I should have recognized that one but it being a live version threw me off I guess.

OK so I searched for that song and found the original video for it and I DO REMEMBER IT!



Not really my cup of tea but that was on the radio pretty much non-stop way back when.
I'm surprised I forgot about it but I was never a fan so don't shoot me.

Thanks for helping me to refresh my memory you two.

If I remember right, they (along w/ the Pet Shop Boys) had problems touring and getting promoted in the US because of the honesty about their sexuality

I seem to recall hearing that they were repeatedly denied working visas or something... I probably heard it via some Jello Biafra spoken word stuff

I wouldn't doubt that a bit.
I was probably 11-12 when Erasure caught my attention on the radio,I love Andy's voice.
Erasure could of been one of the very first bands to take me into that new wave direction back in the good ol 80's

I had one of those Jello Biafra tapes

While this isn't something that I might usually listen to it's really starting to grow on me.
If you've read this thread you'll realize I'm not necessarily an Andy Bell or Erasure fan but I think this is really catchy and they may have something here.
