From 1997. Co-vocalist with the Strat on the far left is Sonny Curtis, who wrote the song. He's still with us, although Nanci Isn't.

A comedy routine with a song attached.

Hilarious!

And the song written by a future 10ccler ...

Care for a power pop version with a bass solo? Voilà!

I wish there were more songs with bass solos like that - and not some flurry of percussive notes, sigh!

That's a nice homage with the Gary Glitter/Glam Rock drumming + Mott the Hoople/Slade vibe, good fun.

Please, don't judge.

What should be wrong with Frankie Goes To Hollywood? They had attitude in loads, a very good lead singer and legend even has it that they were originally a hard rock band before Trevor Horn put them through - quite literally - the mixer.

I liked them back then - along with Duran Duran, but FGTH were more "street" (Duran Duran were "art school")

This lends credibility to their hard rock roots ... before ...

and after "the mixer":

Luckily there was also a version featuring Gary Moore (no joke):

She has a really great alto voice, a pleasure to hear among all the girlie voices on radio today.

Please don't judge no2

Not judged, we'll skip the formalities, and revoke your German citizenship without due process plus expel you to Afghanistan or the Turkish part of Cyprus if you keep going at this rate!

Can't you ever contribute nice music?!

A valid point, granted. They also have something called summer, a season largely missing in Germany this year.

Oh please take away the summer that we're having here, and I promise not to mention the war...
